This bloom of Peace is what I've been waiting for, the classic look.

Lauri; If I just Had to choose between the two,I would have to choose Wonder Of It All.I dearly love that bloom Rita, These mums will bloom again in the fall, too.I have had these mums for about 3 years,and they bloom in spring,and fall, tooI think I have 4 pots of the Red ones, maybe 5 pots, then a pot of what was suppose to be a Red, but they more of a Burnt Orange color to me.

Thanks everyone, I've been working really hard on the garden this year and it's nice to see the roses so happy. The rain has been an issue and the blackspot is creeping in. I hppe I can keep it under control. Carol and Sharlene you are totally right, I have Rock & Roll not Rock n Roll. So confusing to me, all of these & or 'n' roses lol. My St. Patrick came from a local nursery and when I saw it he was covered in huge green buds. I had to take him home and he has become one of my favorite impulse buy roses. I do get to the ground die back in winter but so far he keeps coming back. Sara-Ann yeah I don't see pink freedom very often but I also enjoy the blooms very much. Believe it or not that was a scrawny body bag rose from 2012! Most of my roses have bloomed atleast once this year but I am still waiting on probably 10 or so new ones planted this year for their first blooms. I'd say 75% have been in the ground since 2012 or 2013. Thanks for the feedback and conpliments! I love to share my roses with you all and hear your input! Andrea

Thanks everyone! ac91, my Carding Mill starts off a darker shade of apricot and fades to the color you see in the picture. I love the color at all stages. rosiewells, I do not have my pole wrapped in wire, but I wish I had thought of that. This is an old telephone pole that is not used anymore. There is a newer one next to it. I simply put some nails in it and tied string from one nail to the next. It seemed to work. Now I just sort of wrap Peggy into herself. It's still a work in progress. I am just loving this time of year!

Bob opted for this one as seedling queen. It's amazing since he had several oranges ones to choose from but he chose red. This is Rosie Cotton's Ribbons X Love All Serve All. This one is Lava Flow X Gary Lynn's Calliopsis. It is a third year seedling and will be getting a blue ribbon, which means it is a keeper. It has a good scape and the flower is large. This flower is rather nice, but I think there is a mistake on the parentage. The tag says Smoke Shadows X Geometric Wizard, but I don't see how it could be that. This is my favorite today among the patterned ones. This is Geometric Wizard X Time in a Bottle. This is its first flower ever. This is a large, very flat flower. It is Buddy's Betsy X Stoke the Fire. We planted some martagon lilies last year and we love them. That's all for me. Nancy

Gorgeous blooms! Especially like your royal William. Is it a good re-bloomer and is it fragrant? Thanks for sharing.

Bayourose - Thank you. I've had my Royal William quite a few years. It is a dependable rose, sometimes a little slow to repeat and averages about one dozen blooms per flush, which I consider fair. Mine used to get very tall, but in recent years it probably doesn't get over 4 ft. tall. It has a nice tea fragrance and I consider it a true red, it is a pretty rose in person. Even though I don't consider it a heavy bloomer, I always enjoy the blooms I do get.

They all look so picture perfect Sara Ann!! I've tried to grow Peace two times and it died. I need to try one more time. Not sure what the problem is. Your bloom of it is gorgeous!! Judy

Thanks Prettypetals. I have two Peace bushes in the same bed, but not next to each other, the bush with the rose pictured repeats quickly, but the other one is just sitting there, it looks healthy, hopefully it will bloom again by fall. Roses can be so unpredictable! If you really like it I wouldn't give up on it yet.

Wow!!! Peace looks incredible!!!! That is exquisite!!! Did you put it on helpmefind? You should! :)

Your Double Delight looks amazing!!! I get frustrated with mine - blooms never look that nice. :) It's on its 2nd year - I'm going to give it another year, then might think on whether I should keep it. Pictures like yours makes me want to hang on to it!!! Lovely!!

Thank you Seil, Iris and Carol. It almost seems trite for me to say it, but I do love Peace! Carol, I haven't put any roses on HMF yet, maybe one of these days. I hope your Double Delight starts doing better.
