I'm not sure what colors you are looking for, but from your list, I assume you like modern roses--hybrid teas and floribundas. In hybrid teas, you might consider Double Delight--one of the most popular HTs--creamy white with bright red edges--quite dramatic. Or if you like the fuller look of floribundas, a similar colored one is Cherry Parfait--produces lots of blooms. Another great hybrid tea, but on the cooler side, is Elina-creamy white with a hint of yellow in the center. A cooler floribunda I like is my new Easter Basket--has more of that "frilly" look that Our Lady of Guadalupe exhibits, but Easter Basket is creamy white with pale pink flushes sometimes, pale yellow flushes other times, sometimes all three colors at once--very delicate and subtle colorings. Maybe you need to explore other types of roses also--like shrubs. I adore my Molineux (a David Austin shrub)--has the old-fashioned look, but is modern. It produces blooms in the yellow range, sometimes with peachy or creamy shades mixed in. I have it growing in the "cottage garden" part of my gardens, and it looks great there. Without knowing more about what you want in your roses, that is the best I can come up with right now. Hope that is helpful. Kate

I have my next to last orders planted in pots and in partial shade - the next order to come will be the very last one - what a sad day that will be! I am planning a very larger parterre bed with birdbath in the middle to house these roses once they get ready to plant in the ground, along with all the others I have ordered the last couple of years. Will call it my Vintage Memorial Garden......it wont compensate for the huge loss of Vintage, but will be a place where I can enjoy them all together.....planning to have a vintage looking garden shed/grandchildren playhouse constructed, a hanging swing......Wish they would find some extras and have just one more release......still cant believe they are closing.

Hi Sophia, I can give little input on repetition. I don't pay attention to that here in non-winter land. Poor Abraham Darby got suckers from his Dr. Huey root stock after 4 yrs. and I thought they were the octopus canes I'd read about. By the time I figured it out they had taken over. I battle them every year (difficult access). Poor Abe is now only 3 feet high but in my climate grows easily to 6 feet +. Dr Huey is stealing nutrients and water. Large petal packed wafting uber fragrant blooms. Some blackspot in a non-spray garden. Evelyn is in the path of the wind. She has a lovely spring flush (no winds) and sporadic bloom thereafter (regular winds). No blackspot this year on either as yet. Disease wise I'd say they're equal here (very little). Evelyn's blooms are probably the same diameter as Abe's but not as deep. I keep her under 5 feet with pruning. A 7 ft. arching cane appeared after 6 or 8 years. Colors - Abe is usually a pink fully infused with peach-yellow-mango. Full bodied oomphy color. Lasts no more than 3 days in a bouquet. In Sept. mine changes to a warm medium pink, not as peachy as spring but never bluey-pink. A boring everyday color. In Nov. it is back to a prettier peachy pink. Evelyn, ah Evelyn. The pink dawn touched by sunlight? Not pink, not peach, but a sophisticated blend on gossamer satin petals. I think it is the delicate iridescence that captivates. If I could only have one rose bloom a year it would be her. So you see I am terribly prejudiced and pay little attention to the bush.

I am not sure if I am zone 5A or 5B....but I think 5B. Vaporvac, I like White-Out a lot. Surprisingly, it is one of my best bloomers, and very disease resistant. It is one of the first to bloom as well, and seldom without blooms throughout the whole summer. It also can take some shade.
