Wow, Snoheather, this is the first time I've seen you here. And oh, what an entrance, such gorgeous roses and colors.

Miniature Emma Grace looks so gracious. Anna Henderson has got to be the prettiest most-hybrid exhibition "sport-of-a-floribunda" that I've ever seen. LOL! If my words make any sense... I am spellbound by your Spellbound and Vavoom! Nimbus and Scented Memory...

I have had lots of problems with S. leucantha also. I dug out a old huge Evergreen sumac that was in the wrong place. It left a huge hole and I enlarged that and added lots of compost and some decomposed granite sand. I also have dug in a homemade ollah for water and since last year, it has been happy ,. It returned and returned larger. I think it likes deep rich soil.

Trish, Lol, Dolly Parton does seem to bloom two bodacious blooms at a time. Judith, I would love to see pics of your cottage, raised beds and landscaping...it all sounds wonderful. I was very happy with the way my beds turn out, they are much easier to care for, plus I don’t have to deal with amending my heavy clay. I put cardboard on top of the grass, then filled mine with purchased soil from a dump truck. This was one of the stone beds in the spring when back when the roses coordinated their blooms That Rebel Child salvia sounds great...bright blue is something I always look for since it’s a color that roses don’t produce so it mixes well with every rose. It’s been a while since I’ve grow farinaceas , but they do very well here. Another blue companion I really like is Thumbergia Battescombi Last time I went to Chamblee’s they were closed on a Saturday (their website does state they are open Saturdays now). But I got a few very nice plants from Certified. You’ll have to tell us what you get (Or even better, post pics)! Barbara Look forward to your pics!

Lilyfinch, I didn’t plan on stripping any leaves. They seem to fall off on their own. So far I have only removed leaves that had mildew or rust on them. Only two of my roses are fungi prone: Paul Neyron gets rust and Gruss an Teplitz gets mildew. The rest of my roses are clean, but I have been spraying Spring and Fall with Bonide copper fungicide concentrate and cold pressed neem oil: 1 tsp neem, 1 tsp dawn soap, 1 Tbl copper conc into 1/2 gallon warm water. I put this mixture in a Chapin brand one gallon mosquito sprayer recommended by someone here. Half gallon is enough for 35 young roses. Probably by next Spring I will need a gallon to cover them all. It keeps both fungi and grasshoppers away and is nontoxic. Can’t spray this in hot weather, plus roses don’t get fungi in summer, but I had some grasshoppers over summer and just ignored them until it cooled enough to spray again. So far sprayed just once this fall a couple weeks ago when the weather started cooling.

Those are nice! That Emma Grace just glows. How consistent is the form on Spellbound? Just curious.

Thanks, everybody! Of course, they don't look like this in mid-summer. Fried, is a better description for them then!

SPELLBOUND has very consistent form, Bustopher. That is why I have two of them! Since I have limited space and a penchant for collecting, the fact that I have two means I really, really like it! The only problem - the thrips like it, too, mostly in the Spring.

More photos soon - there are many buds ready to open. Of course, we are going to have another rainstorm tonight, which will turn some to mush!

snowheather, lucky you that you are having a "big fall bloom cycle", I wonder were is mine ;-)!

Outstanding photos of wonderful roses!

I love, love, love the photo of Nimbus. I am very pleased to see that this rose is able to produce so incredible pretty flowers, because I have Nimbus on order from Vintage Gardens and can't wait to see it blooming in my own garden next year.

My other favorites are California Dreaming and Leading Lady.

Thanks for posting!
