Great pictures. I can tell already this is going to become a great thread! Thanks for starting it.

La Brea just posted a thread with some gorgeous pictures, too. Including perhaps the most photogenic OGR ever--Madame Hardy.

I hope sherry ocala contributes some. I remember seeing the most mouthwatering Louis Philippe pictures taken by her.

And I know I've seen Jeri post some wonderful China, Tea and Noisette photos as well.

What I find most deplorable about this ludicrous brouhaha is gwTamara's use of the term "functionality". Good grief . . . Makes one wonder if dear Tamara is a functional illiterate.

KS, I love my duplex; it is in its first year. My shots of it are blooms down low; I can tell yours is "up high" - how large is it, if you don't mind my asking? I was so amazed at the sweet fragrance of the buds.

I am really enjoying seeing everyone's shots.

Windeaux, frankly, I am staying out of the brouhaha because I don't really care what the rose is. I wish they'd get some of those free-use pics of Redoute's drawings and use those. I hate this to turn into some kind of a competition; I just like to see the fruit of everyone's gardens. But that's just me, I'm sure and others think differently.

And, Windeaux, I've only heard Tamara say kind things about you. Gean

Well, Duplex was about 8 feet tall at the beginning of the year, but as more and more blooms opened the branches arched lower and lower and is now below 5 feet and the tops of the branches are only a few feet above the ground.

Madame Lombard looks good enough to eat!

I'll contribute Empress Josephine.

What treasures we have in our gardens. I'm really enjoying seeing all your photos. I hope Tamara is taking note.
