So, where to start? I can see why these are among your favorites. Moonlight Sail gets better and better with every year you post photos. I didn't remember the self color being this pretty in the past. This one is definitely going on my very short list (assuming it's hardy here). Great photo of Sacred Ground. Boiled Shrimp, even without pinching, is my kind of color. It reminds me a little of Two Sues' color. And where did this Once Upon a Dream come from? Beautiful edge and color. Another must-have.

Beautiful photos! Nice to see so many blooms... but you are WAY up there (compared to me, at least)! :o) Is it just me or is Siloam Ethel Smith looking particularly perfect in that photo?? Out of your seedlings, I like the last one best... guess I am a sucker for heavy substance and big fat petals. They are all beauties though.

The first two are the best--each in a different way. But they are all terrific. Just wish anything was blooming in my garden--rosewise, that is. I do have some lovely iris in bloom. Kate

Rita,
Thanks for posting your photos....it's nice to see someone else who grows Greetings! We're STILL waiting for our first blooms....all are budded up, but it is unseasonably cool and not very sunny here. I'm SO tired of this weather and want to see our roses and lilies and iris! :0) Phyl

Greetings is an awesome rose. It never stops flowering. The buds on it are absolutely unbelievable, there are so many. I only have 2 flowers open on it so far but will be sure to take pictures when more open.

As far as I can see J&P offered Greetings for one year, which is when I got it and then it was gone. Replaced by GOOD N PLENTY, which I didn't feel I wanted.

Royal Wedding is also a J&P rose, one of their versions of english style roses like their Golden Zest.

LOUISE CLEMENTS is one of the John Clements intros from Heirloom Roses as is MEMORIES.

Cool here too but it hasn't bothered the roses, going to be a great spring flush.

Wow you are so lucky, I am drooling looking at your roses and I want to cry when I look out the window to see it snowing. When I retire I will have to move south.
I love your New Orleans. Great pictures.

Oh my Goodness! your roses are all so beautiful! And you have quite a few twins and look at all those buds! WOW. I cannot get over how healthy your foliage is too, do you spray Rita? And if so with what?
Thanks so much sharing these with us.

Normally I would say yes I do spray. But I was so busy this spring with all my planting that I only got to spay for the first time this year a week ago Friday. That means I am due to spray again this Friday. The roses stayed really clean. But now I will keep spraying all summer and fall as they do not stay clean if I don't spray.

The only thing that I use is Bayer Advanced Desease Control for Roses Flowers and Shrubs. Never the 3 in one. But I don't have Japanese Beetles here, only get afew during the summer easily dispatched in my cup of soapy water.

Aren't those gorgeous. It's no wonder we all love roses. Rally Pretty Rita. I'll bet you have "lookers" going by just to see the show.

I have lots of walkers by that stop at the rose garden and just gawk. Honestly this is the best they have ever looked. Its just that It really does take roses afew years of growing before they look their best and the front yard florabundaville rose garden is all at three years old now.

Where did you buy your New Orleans? I tried researching the rose on HMF but the only thing I could find was on New Orleans Lady which doesn't seem to match the rose pictured above.

Kudos, BTW, on such a beautiful show of roses!

Heirloom Roses. I believe that Roses Unlimited also sells it. New Orleans is a Clements Rose and Heirloom has the best selection of Clements roses available, However if you buy from Roses Umlimited, you will surely get a bigger plant to start with.

New Orleans is a stunning rose, the color is increadable and the scent is wonderful. If you want to try another Clements rose with divine color, check out Star of the Nile. Mine is not open yet but I will be taking pictures of it when it does.
