O my. They have Blanche de Belgique? I must have it. That is quite a list of rare roses!

I LOVE it when people post their list of roses they order! I'm always facinated by everyone's tastes and choices -- and I'm amazed by the variety.

In case there are others here who are also entertained by this, here's my own Vintage list that ships on Monday.

Order #1
Columbia, Climbing
Black Ice
Dagmar SpÃ¤th
Ivory Triumph
"Wagon Wheel Bright Pink"
Zeus
Mrs. Dudley Cross
Elie Beauvilain
Coral Creeper
Pink Revelation
"Placerville White Noisette"
Royal Sunset
Mrs. Wakefield Christie- Miller
Mrs. Lovell Swisher
Climbing American Beauty
Tom Wood
Mme. Ravary
Lady Alice Stanley
Grace Darling
Dupuy-Jamain
Goldilocks, Climbing
Miranda
"Haircutters Pink Climber"
Swantje

Order #2
Secret Garden Noisette
Climbing Rouletti
La Nymphe
St. Thomas China
Mableton Rouletti
Jean Guichard
September Morn
Rainbow

One day I will venture into the Gallica and Alba world. For now, I'm having a lot of fun with teas, chinas, floribundas, older HTs and climbers.

Connie

P.S. I also ordered Becky, but I got a note from Gita saying that crop failure caused the loss most of the few Beckys they had. I am SO bummed.

Those look good, but we need to know which ones you got so we can either be jealous or decide we have to have one of those too, and go buy our own. ;^)

Bluegirl -- Your memory of the bush form of 'Shot Silk' as not being "real robust" is accurate. The bush form of SS on its own roots never is. Given your zone 8 environment, consider growing it in a container and giving it some protection from full sun during the mid-day to afternoon hours. If you can provide that protection, the plant will be much happier and its unique coloration will be much better (and last longer). The bush form of SS is something of a wimp (in my experience). The climber, however, is quite robust -- altho it also suffers if given too much intense sunlight in zones like yours and mine.

I ordered a Pernetiana that I've been hoping would make it onto the Available list (and now it has) Angels Mateu. Also, I ordered Betty, the little HT from 1905. These are both small, so, hopefully, there will be a little room for them. I've been looking at the Pernetianas for a while now, but most of them were on the Custom Root list. Yesterday, the names of several appeared on the Available list (although I had pretty much made up my mind to ask for a custom root of one of them). To my delight, the one I most wanted, Angels Mateu, was available! (Actually, there were several that I would loved to have had, but my balcony would simply not accommodate them.) Then, Betty had always had my fancy from the catalog, and it sounds as though it might not be something that would be available elsewhere. I ordered these yesterday, and now this morning read Anita's post, which has such a great idea - this is a way I can help out even though I don't have any space to buy more roses. By the way, I have a feeling, from a few posts that I have read on the forum, that the Pernetianas may not be the easiest roses to grow. If anybody has advice about caring for them, I would be grateful. Thanks, Laura

OMG! I just ordered some roses tonight, and didn't even see the notice on the homepage about them possibly closing up. Wow! I never would've thought Vintage would go down. Well, I can at least say I did my part to help!! I ordered: COURVOISIER BLUE RIBBON JOHNNY WALKER (to replace my dead one) PINK MASTERPIECE (to replace my faltering one) TYRIUS PICTURE (to replace my dead one)

Connie, every time Luanne posts her Mrs. Lovell Swisher, I want one.
You both have great lists.

I'm ashamed to admit how many I've ordered from BOTH lists. However, the euphoria of opening the just-delivered Vintage boxes soon will erase the shame....

i like a good challenge. My old European roses have far surpased the "earth kind roses", teas, and noisettes.

My list is a big departure for me. But I've decided to do a large bed of classic and found HTs, so to round out a small collection of previously acquired old/found HTs, I'm adding:

La France
Lady Mary Fitzwilliam
Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria
Mme. Caroline Testout
Mme. J. P. Soupert
Captain Christy
Snowbird
September Morn

Plus:

3 of Mme. Alfred de Rougemont (a blush white Hybrid Noisette/Bourbon that took my breath away).

And a Marie Pavie (because someone once said EYE NEEDED it ;-) )

They ship Monday.

I'm so glad someone else has ordered Secret Garden Noisette. I've had this before and loved it and now have recently planted two bands from Vintage also. Most people have Secret Garden Musk Climber and I'm anxious to see that one in person as everyone raves about it.

Mrs Lovell Swisher is great. I have but a few of your list, but September Morn is beautiful (really beautiful) and so is Grace Darling. In fact, GD was a gift and it was from a darling person and the rose is just as sweet. Can't miss with Snowbird. I think it was Lynette who recommended that rose to me or Marie. Either way, it is a great rose. I think I have Secret Garden Noisette and if it is the rose I think it is, it is a fantastic noisette, really smelly and sweet little blush blooms, very healthy.

I'm excited about getting September Morn. I've been waiting a long time, and last Fall dithered in getting a full order together when it was briefly available, and missed out. Lesson learned!

If Snowbird proves to be the same rose as a "found" rose discovered my others near my home, then it is one of the most beautiful roses I've ever seen! Beautiful old-fashioned cream colored blooms somewhat like a cross between SDLM and Sombreuil. And fragrant. Beautiful.

And IF it is the same as the found rose, it has to be one very strong rose, as the found rose has survived unbelievable neglect and drought. I hope to grow both Snowbird and the "found" rose side by side for study.

Funny but Grace Darling was the very next "alternate" on my list. Next order.

Rozanna has Snowbird. I didn't think much about it at the time, but I like how it reflexes in multiple layers (like noisettes).

Caroline Testout is something I may consider getting from Antique Rose Emporium.
