Pictures of some of my red roses! I honestly thought I had more reds than this, but then again I do have a few I havne't been able to get descent pictures of (Falstaff, The Dark Lady are two) Anyway...reds are difficult for me to photograph for whatever reason, but here we go.....

My mystery red...I suspect it to be Lavaglut(?)

Ink Spots

Snowfire...nice blooms in the spring, but all downhill from there! I keep it around because it was one of the first roses I purchased, and its springs bloom are to die for!

Braveheart

Black Ice: I just got this one last month...and I love it! I just hope it makes it throught the winter! I can't find anything on its hardiness :(

Last, but certainly not least...Leprechaun! Another of my favorites...this isn't the most in-focus picture, but I love that the newly opened blooms are a perfect yellow, and then age to a true red! Its like having multiple roses on one bush!

Tell us why Rouge Royale is a favorite. Some have complained about it wilting in the heat and weak necks. A nice collection.

Great Reds, Tammy! Hey, I used to have the same frustration in that my Lincoln reds would not look the same as what my camera showed unless I got the perfect lighting, very heavy overcast skies or crack of dawn photos with subdued light. If you have a Canon Rebel for example, the easiest is to use the TV setting. Click the snap button halfway, then scroll back the Fstop to where it needs to be... (the Fstop is the coggy-wheel looking thing at the top of the camera) Occasionally the Sports setting will work, but you can never ever take at midday with blasting sunlight. You basically have to shut down the light factor....

The issue I now face is that if I have to shut down the light on the TV setting, and it's a windy day, I'm screwed, lol! So then I have to use the Sports setting. But at least finally, I can get Lincoln to have the shade that it really does have. Either the intense maraschino cherry red or the deep florist red rose intensity....

I love Snowfire and Rogue Royal as my favorites!

This is a plume type of Celosia with red blooms. The catalog description says it has scarlet leaves. Have any of you grown it? Here is a link that might be useful: Celosia 'Red Flame'

Jeanne, love all of your new dishes. So glad you picked up some colored flatware to add to your ts. It looks GREAT! This table is wonderful and goes so well with your buffet. The picture with your back splash showing in the mirror is neat and it all ties together. This table looks so county and your glasses were the perfect choice. I never find any napkins at those kind of prices at TJM here but sure glad you got lucky. Sweet cp, the little birds and basket go so well together. I'm jealous of your blooming Hydrangeas. I do have one plant that made it through the winter but no blooms yet. Is this normal? Gosh August in just around the corner. Can't believe how fast time flies. Do you already have your dishes picked out for your next ts? I still need to get some napkins out to go on my ts but have been trying to catch up outside instead. Now for you and DGGSon the pool, looks like your having fun..... Can't think of anything greater than sharing special times with this cute little guy. He does look like he could keep you going? I hope I'm lucky enough to live long enough to have GrGC too. Punk

Dutch Red and French Red Shallots

....and of course "French Grey", "Dutch Yellow", and multiplier onions. I've been trying to grow them for years, always in containers, fall planted in Northern California, some years more successfully than others. This year I am growing Dutch Red and French Red from Filaree Farm.. I'm going to try to link some other threads here for future reference, including some I have participated in, why-are-my-shallots-soo-small harvesting-shallots-when Shallots Best shallot variety but I wanted to include this one, which helps me sort some of it out. Shallots (Allium cepa ascalonicum) This year is the first time I remember reading I should plant AFTER the first freeze. It doesn't freeze much here. A few more links. Shallot varieties

Manis, I've heard the same thing about Rouge Royal...I guess its either a "love it or hate it" kind of rose. I have 2 Rouge Royals in my garden and one definitly does better than the other(not sure why, they are both bareroot from Edmonds and are planted about 10 feet from eachother). They are 2 year old plants. For me, the blooms never ball and I haven't had any weak necks. They also have a very quick repeat. They also stay pretty compact in my garden, and don't get what I call "crazy canes" where the canes take off 5 feet high and leafless with a bloom on the end! One thing they do that I'm not crazy about is they defoliate after each flush, but they are very fast to regrow their leaves. They're the only Romantica's I currently have, but I have Lunar Mist on order for the spring..I'm hoping for similar results in a climber. :)

Serenasyh, thanks for the tips..I do have a Canon camera. It's not a Rebel, but I have different settings I haven't really played around with. There's even a Foliage setting I've never tried...lol. I'll have to get out there the next time its overcast and see what happens...in the sunlight, reds just looks the a florescent mess in photo!

Red roses are the ones who make my heart melt and beat faster. More specifically, I love Black Ice, (what a creative name, passion and coolness contrasting) and Rogue Royal, these are my favourite ones based on the photos but all are really lovely and with an extraordinary beautiful shape and color! Very delightful pictures, thank you!!!

Your first pic looks exactly like my Black Cherry.
This below is my Lavaglut. It's blooms are very small, dark, and prolific.
.

If you want to see BC, let me know. Love your reds! Reds are really hard to capture and often look better in person for me.

Roses are really good specially when it was touched by the good florists like the one that I've ordered for my mom from - http://www.flowerpatch.com/. Try that one guys!

Kathy, does your Black Cherry have almost wax-like petals? This one always has a very large flush, and each bloom can last over a week & the petals are very stiff and rigid. I know in the past I've posted it in the "Name that Rose" forum, and had a suggestion of Valentines Day (I think)...I love it, I just wish I knew what it was!
