I'm such a dope!!

Spent a bunch of time researching, and a bunch of money buying the perfect roses for my new Norman Rockwell-esque, white picket fence front yard.

I wanted roses that went from light orange/apricots through pinks

I also wanted them to be old fashioned climbers, as well as disease resistant, fragrant, and continuous bloom.

I put in Zepherine, Westerland, Collete, Cottage Rose, and Bell Story.

The good news is I LOVE Westerland & Zepherine, and everything is covered in flowers!

The bad news is Collete, Cottage Rose, and even Belle Story, look so insipid, and washed out next to the westy, and zephey. They also seem to drop lots of petals, which for some reason look more messy than pretty.

How could this happen to me, The expert on color theory ?

Any recommendations for playmates for my beautiful Westeys and Zepheys??

Boy do I feel dumb!
