Oh boy, oh boy!! Love OVER THE MOON and OSIANA. I actually have a rose that looks very similar to OSIANA but I am not sure. Maybe we can post our 'UNKNOWNS' under the 'Us'. Might be very interesting to see how many 'no name' roses we have.(?) I only have one 'O' to contribute - here's OKLAHOMA again. (Don't remember seeing it quite as dark as Beth's and Kate's.)

Olivia, both of them, are just lovely. Good to hear that the DA rose does well in dry heat. I also love Our Anniversary. What a beautiful rose! I only have one O rose, Occhi di Fata. Great rose! I love how she changes colors daily. Always a pleasure to watch.

I couldn't name what cultivar, but some (beautiful) variety of creamy Hybrid Tea is my guess. Carol

Wow,Beth;I love them all.They are just all beautiful.My favorite is the OLOG.I lost mine several years ago,and never did get a replacement. ORANGE JUICE is a gorgeous bloom, too.Love them Oranges, and OREGOLD is beautiful, too.I never did have OUTRAGIOUS, but its a beauty, too.and I have never heard of OVER THE MOON but its certainly a beauty..I have managed to get out and get about 40 of mine prunned for the spring, still got a few more to prune as soon as I can.I am having a terrible time just to stand up and walk around alittle in the last few months.My Dr had put me on statin drugs for a little elevated Colesterol,and I have had some bad side effects from it.I didn't even think about this drug causing such problems.I developed insomia and couldn't sleep more then a hour or two at night for 4 months and it just done me in,and when I finally wondered if the meds could have anything to do with it,I went on line searching for answers,and found 100's of people with same effects,and some a lot worse off.Right now,I have stopped taking the pills and am begining to improve,slowly.Going to new Dr the 8th next month, and won't take this meds again,unless its a very light dose, then not sure I will either..
Now to wait for the next bunch of your roses.

Beth--Your "Lady of Guadlupe" seems to have more mauve in it than mine does. Here is a pic of one that looks like the one I have with more pink.--Ron

Daun, OP is very pretty and repeats pretty decently. As far as scent goes, I dunno? I need to check it...

Rosessecretgarden, OCTOBERFEST is a real beauty when it does bloom. Mine's been a slow one I'm afraid. That bloom was at the end of the fall season. It must like cooler temps.

Ron, it's probably my photography. Looks like I could've taken some blue out of the shot. Plus they all look different on different monitors. But, believe me, it's not a mauve rose!

Masha, I can't wait for ALL the roses to bloom!! LOL We had a dreary, damp COLD day again today. I'm sick of winter!!! Come on spring!

Hi Beth, your "O"-roses are just outstanding!!!

I absolutely love the photo of Oyster Pearl. I have seen another breathtaking photo of this rose once and always wanted to get it for myself, but the vendors I am usually ordering from don't carry it.

Before I make a new effort to obtain this rose, can you tell me a little bit more about how yours is doing for you (fragrance, disease resistance, vigor, ability to re-bloom and anything else that you think is interesting to know about this beauty? I also would like to ask where you bought yours and if you know a reliable vendor that I can order it from. Many thanks for your answer in advance!

Sooooo pretty Beth. I don't have a clue how you care for so many roses but we sure love the eye candy in anticipation of spring. Not alot going on at the moment so I so enjoyed the pretty pictures. Judy

Interesting that ORANGE RUFFELS doesn't perform well in your climate. Probably wouldn't be good here either. I rather like those old blowsy (blousey ?) hybrid teas. An uninhibited charm.

Will show my friend your ORCHID MASTERPIECE. She's having New Dawn removed. It rarely shows much pink. Our sun???
Is ORCHID MASTERPIECE a good bloomer?

Thanks Beth.

Oh Wow!!!!

There are so many roses that look INCREDIBLE. I would take the time to go look at them and write down the names, but I'm feeling very weary and worn out. But my favs are Odessa and Old Port!

Hey, even if it takes you a long time to finish the alphabet - it STILL will keep me entertained long before I get to enjoy roses - so I'm very appreciative!! :)

I loved all of your 'O' roses, can't pick a favorite this time!
Question - what is the difference between OLYMPIAD and OPENING NIGHT, I had both and couldn't tell the differenc. Now I want one of them again but don't know which one to choose. TIA if you get a chance to answer.
