More blooms from my Michigan garden, enjoy! I think this is finally my "Spring Flush" -- my first one ever :-)

Double Take

Grimaldi blooming like crazy

Raspberry Cream Twirl Climber

Rock n Roll -- one of my favorites from last year, this is the first bloom this year

Barbara Bush

Cafe Ole -- new one from RVR

Double Delight

Paradise

Monkey Business

Roses along the fence line, I'm working on a border idea...I'd like to have it edged and mulched with a border but not sure when that will be able to get done!

Blue Lagoon

Ketchup & Mustard

Dr. Brownell

Ink Spots -- the red is a lot darker in real life

Granada -- not the best photo

Julio Iglesias

Medallion

Henri Matisse with White Knight peeking in at the bottom

Pink Don Juan

I believe this is Cl America although it was labeled as Pink Fountain

New Year

That's all for today folks! Thanks for letting me share!

Andrea

You have some very nice roses. I've seen lots of striped roses on this forum, never had any, but might have to try one or two, Rock 'n Roll looks very lovely. I especially like your Double Delight and Granada.

Jill...you must have been posting at the same time I was, I missed you, sorry! :) Glad you enjoyed my dl's. Tammy...I'm sorry, I failed to answer your question about my camera. It's a Fuji Finepix S700. The macro and super macro capabilities are wonderful as is the 10x optical zoom. It really lets you get up close and personal with your blooms. LOL Shelly....I totally understand, my list just keep growing and growing and growing..kind of like that Energizer bunny, you know? :) I've had MM for a couple of years now, and it's really struttin it's stuff this season. FT is brand new and that was the FFO on it. It's one of my brightest dl's. Chris....You're gonna love AS, it's one of my favs, but then I've got so many fav's!! LOL Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoyed looking. Jan

Kate -- I do not know much about Akebono. I recently became interested in Japanese roses after falling for Mikado and looking into the history of the hybridizer. (even though Akebono and Mikado have different hybridizers) That's one thing I just love about roses, all have a story and there is so much to learn. I looked up the minis on the Kordes site (the label said it was a Kordes rose) and I think it is Pink Poetry Kordana. Lothlin -- Yeah, George Burns makes quite a statement! Grimaldi is loaded with blooms, so even though the opened form isn't my favorite, the splashes of color make it a keeper! Sara-Ann -- thank you! I was surprised at how nice the Dick Clark bush looked on only it's second year. Jim -- thanks! I am a huge fan of the striped roses. They always put on such a show!

..what a lovely fresh looking white rose in that photo above, by the wall and black railings.... I wonder where Jim in AV is as I can't find an 'AV' in the U.S. state code list...and I do so like to know where people post from... so maybe it means something else... as in the photo I am intrigued by the view in the background which looks like a partially snow covered valley spreading out far and wide towards a range of hills.... yet the weather looks warm and sunny.... I cannot fathom... ...anyway, regardless.... I hope the rose has a nice scent...

Nice Spring flush from Granada

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Kate, what Michael said about the colour of Granada is spot on. The colours of the photos on the screen are very close to what they look like in real life. I have lots of sun and I leave them on the bush until the flowers are half open so they are very bright.

Andrea, what an impressive array of plants. How exciting is that, your first spring flush! I'm smitten with Rasberry Cream Twirl Climber, a really beautiful striped rose that I hadn't heard of. I had Julio Iglesias, which didn't do well for me, but yours is thriving. I thought it smelled wonderful. Congratulations on having done such a great job.

LOVE them! I still can't get over your Grimaldi while mine is in an enternal slump! I also really like Henri Mattise and Blue Lagoon! I just added Raspberry Cream Twirl this year from Edmunds, and so far I really like it!

Each is more lovely than the last. I can almost smell them. Raspberry Creme Twirl is stunning. I'm going to have to get one. Thanks for sharing.

Raspberry Cream, Rock and Roll, Henri Mattise are my favorites!! Gorgeous!!

I have Paradise, but it never blooms much. How is yours? Mine also has no scent. How about yours?

Thanks for the beauty!!

Thanks, everyone! I am having so much fun growing roses, I never liked gardening at all until I started with the roses last spring and now it is nice to see the rewards from all of that hard work!

jaceysgranny -- thanks! I am really enjoying monkey business, I mainly bought it because I thought my kids would get a kick out of the name and I was intrigued by the "licorice" scent that was mentioned when I bought it (although I haven't really noticed it yet)

Sara-Ann -- if I were to only have one striped one it would be Rock n Roll, I am just so impressed with the blooms and the rich colors. Give it a try and I think you'll love it too!

Ingrid -- thank you for the compliments! RCT is great, I believe it was introduced in Europe under another name. My Julio bush is not that big but it sure likes to bloom!

Lesley -- thank you :)

Tammy -- Thanks!! I wonder what is up with your Grimaldi? Did you say it was still in a pot? Mine went straight into the ground from RU and it has loved it. I didn't get many blooms last year (a handful) but maybe it appreciated the Michigan winter? It did have a significant amount of die back but has bounced right back. I just noticed a huge basal cane coming up this morning so I am excited! My Raspberry C.T. is also from Edmunds and I cannot believe the growth on that one -- the most of all the roses I planted -- I'd say give it a lot of space if you can!

Jeannie -- thank you! I think you'll love Raspberry Cream Twirl if you give it a chance. I got mine from Edmunds and it has been such a strong grower.

Carol -- thanks, I love those stripey roses! My Paradise has no scent either but I love the blooms, they are shapely and seem to last quite a while on the bush without losing form. I bought a 3rd Paradise this year since my two from last year were such strong bloomer. I have one in a not so sunny location and it does surprisingly well so maybe it appreciates a little shade. How is yours with sun?

I think that's a wonderful picture of Granada!

Monkey Business always appeals to me more than Julia Child when I see pictures ???

New York looks like orange sherbet and Pink Don Juan is delicious too.

But I love, love Raspberry Cream Twirl -- major Swoon.

So beautiful, Andrea! I found Double Take this spring at Meijers but I haven't had any blooms that pretty yet!

It was worth the wait for that first flush wasn't it, Andrea, especially when you have such a lush and lovely group as this. And now we can enjoy these pics again in gray November while dreaming of spring. I like your idea of growing roses both on the fence as climbers and in front of the fence. It's going to become more and more impressive as the roses grow. Climbing America is especially beautiful. Diane
