Some Roses and Some New Seedlings-LONG

16 years ago

Hello to all.

Here is some pics of my roses I took today.

Neptune

Midas Touch

Betty Boop

This is a Crystalline X Heirloom Seedling, very light colored purple with a good scent. The trips got to it too, sigh....

This is a Gemini X Bronze Star Seedling, My best so far. It actually glows all day long in the sun and in the shade.

The trips got to the first bloom (top) on this one too. Strong fragrance.

I would love some, my heart leaps ever time I see them, but I have resisted buying many more plants til I take care of the ones have. I'm in Adairsville, about 50-60 miles N of Atlanta, no idea where you are.

They are all fabulous, I can't pick a favorite from any of these, they are all too nice. :) I wish I had the time to pollinate more flowers, by the time I get home from work, it's too late, or the ones I would like to cross with each other aren't blooming at the same time. Oh well. I guess fewer seeds means fewer seedlings to have to build beds for. Thanks for sharing! Karen

New Camera, Some New Roses

Thanks so much, all of you. And Carol and Niecey, a belated Happy Canada Day to you both! I am having a lot of fun with this camera; I actually had nothing to do with how any of the photos turned out - I just pressed the button, sometimes holding it down, and sometimes not. I was lucky, they just turned out well! So, Iris gal, the crocus rose shot was an accident, but a very pretty one. Carla, my dear sister-in-law bought a new (very expensive) camera, and kindly gave me her old one, a Kodak DX 4330. I am thrilled with the photos it takes, and it seems very simple to use (which is VERY important for me). Since there is no instruction book, I have to check out some of the Kodak Tutorials to get the most out of it. Mark, I also LOVE Tamora's blooms, but I have to say, I'm am not crazy about the fragrance, so I just don't get too close LOL Jean, we'd love to see pictures of your Evelyn too - she sure is a beauty.

I think that it's fascinating that you hybridize some yourself. That would be so much fun to see what you can get. The last one you show is, to me, a particularly stunning new rose!! Does it have a good scent since Intrigue is one of the parents? Congratulations!!

Betty Boop is a rose that I've often thought of getting, but I always pass on it. But your full bush shot shows how lovely a bush it is and how large and vibrant the flowers are. I just might have to get this one!

Thanks for all your nice compliments. Bellarose, the lavender rose behind the statue is an Angel Face Climber. Carol, The Intrigue X Midas Touch Seedling has a light scent, unfortunately not like its parent. Here is a picture of the AF Climber, its about two years old now.
