Conundrum. Mr. Pete's fave too. The only problems are that it can be prone to PM and that the blooms don't have many petals. No matter, there are so many blooms that you won't care and continues to pump them out even in late July. Nice full plant too, sends up at least one basal a year. Has been a keeper since I put it in the ground 3 years ago.

I have Willing, it is new this year, but I put it in a large pot a couple of month ago and it has taken off with growth. It is on the porch and getting not enough sun, but the plant itself is filling out nicely.

Arcanum was just so-so for me and I no longer have it. A lot of folks around here still do, but I wasn't impressed. Foolish Pleasure is becoming a biggie on the exhibition scene, but I haven't seen a plant of it to have an opinion.

I can't keep Butter Cream alive. But you made me look, and now I have to have Caledonia... ;-))

pete41

I just pulled my two Buttercreams-One from Rosemania and one I grew from a cutting.Truly beautiful blooms-maybe as pretty as it gets because they do remind you of candy.However the plants weren't really robust.Mine were in ground.Pots, maybe it would be different or even in different soil.I just don't have time for plants that aren't super healthy.
Conundrum[my favorite rose] and Ruffian ,both from Rosemania are doing great.I just pruned Conundrum back to four feet from six.lol
Olympic Gold from the same source,was another I pulled after three years.A weenie here anyway.

I grow several of their roses and have a few more on order for Dec.(Calidonia and Unbrideled). Some of their roses are tough to get going and take a few years to establish a good root system. I've learned to keep ALL own root roses in 3 gal. pots until they fill the pot with roots. That being said, these are the ones I have in my ever shrinking garden. Class of 73, Whirlaway (must have), Foolish Pleasure, Cachet, Arcanum, Butter Cream is in a large decor pot on my deck. I had Jerry Lynn but the blooms faded out in the sun really bad. It could have probably used afternoon shade to keep it's true color. Arcanum is also in a medium size decor pot. I have heard many folks complane that it doesn't grow well in the ground. It must be one of those roses that likes its roots fairly well packed.

I have John Boy too, but it is in the bucket of lost roses (on the porch awaiting a home). It has tried to bloom well even though it has mostly been neglected. Way potbound by now. I can't really describe the blooms. all of these danged yellow-blends are melding into one... I think I might have Whirlaway too, I'll check when I get home.

My Olympic Gold came from Michael's (don't go looking, he's out of business) and it has got to be close to 5' tall this year. To each their own!

I got Able this year and it's not a good rose, no form at all just open blooms. I bought Nemisis,Foolish Pleasure,Class of 73, Regina Lee,and Kismet. I don't like Kismet. Short little plant with no form.

Hmm...Conundrum sounds really good, but maybe too vigorous for my needs. I am looking for pot roses. Plus color...I just got Dancing Flame. Is that not awfully similar in color?

I'm still intrigued, though. That low petal count thing is a bit of an issue for me. Reminds me of another rose that is a favorite of mine in many ways, EXCEPT, low petal count. Looks terrific briefly in exhibition stage, then quickly opens out and does not look as full as I like. I know, picky picky. That rose is Salute.

Anyone grow Kismet? It's supposed to stay small. No idea how big Bonnie Sky gets.
Butter Cream I only had for 2 months before it was stolen. Not enough time to see how vigorous it would become. But I got it to be a pot specimen, anyway. The blooms were not only perfection but also long-lasting, much like the black-red Memphis Magic I have on my front steps. I think the two roses will make a stunning contrast to each other. Anyway, Butter Cream had nice clean foliage that was well-matched to the large blooms.

Since we are starting to mention Mini-Floras not carried by Rosemania, my all time favorite is Autumn Splendor. It's yellow with orange and red petal edges, blooms all the time, and is gorgeous. And the top old timer in this class is Tiffany Lynn. Beautiful pink blend and a willing bloomer. Memphis King started out slow and spreading for me, but now it's going crazy. It is tall, wide and vigorous. Lots of great, dark red blooms. It loves hot weather and doesn't open as well in cool weather.

Maryl (Okla. Zone 7a)

I grew Memphis King for 3 years and the blooms were good. But for some reason the bush shape always remained awkward so I finally got rid of it. Louisville Lady (another Wells mini-flora) had just as good a bloom form as MK but for me had a better bush shape. I lost it to an early freeze after it's 2nd year so will need to replace.
