I suspect my hot climate and low humidity (12 degrees today) don't make for long-lasting cut roses. I notice they last a lot longer in cool, rainy winter weather. I would think that foggy areas like Jeri's are also much kinder to cut roses.

Ingrid

Belinda's Dream, Mystic Beauty, Rosette Delizy, Sombrueil. I like to combine them with Vanity or Night Owl; the big petals fall quickly and make a splash of color on the table!

What's in my vases right now: William Shakespeare 2000, Bolero, Mary Magdalene, Honey Bouquet, Golden Cel., Frederic Mistral, Pink Peace, Francis Blaise, and Liv Tyler. The best smelling is Mary Mag., Frederic Mistral, and Pink Peace & Francis Blaise. I'll going to look up Oregold - yellow is my favorite. My kid wants me to throw out Liv Tyler - I like its scent, she hates it.

I, too, love Frederic Mistral for bouquets, and right now, he's in several, along with Evelyn, Jude the Obscure, Angel Face, Ascot, and Wild Blue Yonder (not always a good cutting rose--depends on the weather). I also like Golden Celebration for cutting if it hasn't been too hot--then it's a bit droopy. Diane

I am looking at a spray of three perfect white Swan Lake flowers. I cut the stem a week ago. I am glad I saved them now that the cold is coming and the annuals are gone. I shall have to buy cut flowers for the next 5 or 6 months.

I'm glad Diane mentioned Evelyn - I got to cut some today. Mid-August I chopped most Austins down to 1' x 1', only Mary Magdalene, Evelyn, and Scepter'd Isle grow fast enough to give me a good fall flush. Evelyn lasts long in the vase, at least 4 days. The ones that last long in the vase stand up to 100 degrees heat well.

Sonia Rykiel lasts long in the vase, she bloomed at above 90 degrees, only if given rich clay, plenty of water, and frequent horse manure & aflafal meal. She's a deep-cup diva, jam-packed with petals. I'm going to move her to a richer & wetter spot. The scent is unmatched, raspberry rose, and when the petals fall apart, it's still fragrant. Sonia is the pink one in the bouquet below picked before frost hit early October:

For Summer Bouquet, I like Paul Neyron (pink, old rose scent), Firefighter (red, strong perfume), and 2007 Romantica Sweet Promise (orange, apple blossoms scent). They all smell divine, and last 5 days in the vase. Both Firefighter and Sweet Promise bloomed well at 90-100 degrees heat. Paul Neyron doesn't like heat, he's in morning sun only.

Orange Sweet Promise is blooming now after the frost. I don't cut it much, since what's cheerful in a gloomy fall garden becomes gaudy in a vase.

I have few roses suitable for cutting. I usually cut only a single flower for one of my display stem vases. This is a late bloom of Alfred Colomb in the window above the kitchen sink.

wow... the pics are amazing.
today on my kitchen table bouquet is Mons Tiller, Mary magdalene, lavendar amd late blooming Montauk daiseys.
Sunday, it will be my turn to provide bouquets for our church alter. I'm planning on using sunflowers, blue salvia, daiseys and ol' buff for the rose. sure hope they are all presentable sunday morning.

I have a hunger for fragrant cutting roses-- currently only HT's in my garden are Oklahoma and Belinda's Dream. BD has not been generous with her blooms here, she did a whole lot better for me in Texas!
So if I WERE to try growing a few more HT's
I might add: Frederic Mistral, Medallion, Memorial Day, and Peter Mayle. Maybe Yves Piaget despite our humidity.

Obviously my taste is not for exhibition HT's!

I'm not a big rose cutter but the ones that have the best vase life for me are Pope John Paul II, Veterans' Honor and Folklore. I've found that the paler roses with thinner petals fade and drop the quickest inside.

For a combination of fragrance and form - Chrysler Imperial, Double Delight (can last over 5 days), Fragrant Cloud and Stainless Steel. Oklahoma doesn't last too long, but is very pretty for a few days, and a really dark red.

Non fragrant - Dick Clark, Broadway, Dream Come True for blends, and Veterans Honor is stunning and lasts a long time.

Austin - Young Lycidas holds its form for days, and has lovely fragrance.

There are others, but right now I've noticed that Evelyn is a good cut rose. I also cut one from Perfume Delight and it was wonderful in the vase. Lasted several days. I don't have many modern roses, but I have been very pleased with Perfume Delight, so far. Very healthy and floriferous.

Thanks, jaspermplants ... for "Perfume Delight" ... I'll buy it next year. I have Evelyn in vase now, last 4 days in hot weather, and more in cold weather. Francis Blaise is a good cut flower like Evelyn, but deeper pink with a great myrrh.

I like Honey Bouquet even more than Golden Cel., nice deep yellow, and smells like honey, and it lasts 5 days in the vase. It blooms after frost.

We got "Indian summer" today, Oct. 24, temp. up to 75 degrees. I picked a bouquet, it smells really good. Francis Blaise are the orange-pink buds, Deep Purple is the big lavender, Honey Bouquet is yellow, and Pink Peace is dark pink on top ... listed in the order yummy scent preference from most preferred to least. Pink Peace is strong, but not my fav. scent. They all last 4 to 5 days in the vase, with Deep Purple and Honey Bouquet the longest.
