Hi Everyone..... Well, certainly some of the photos of Arizona on HMF look like mine, but there seems to be a huge variation in the bloom coloration and form on there. Whereas mine is more a deep orange and tightly-petalled, some of the photos show blooms more of the yellow coloring, and some with red to the edges. I wish I could see a bloom of Arizona in person! Because of the inconsistency of the photos I'd have to say its a strong contender, but I still am puzzled about the lack of fragrance of mine. Arizona is reported to be fragrant....mine definitely is not. Since I know detecting fragrance differs from person to person I would not base this on just my opinion alone. Dozens of people took sniffs of my rose all throughout the summer at different times and no one detected any scent whatsoever. Roses right next to it did have fragrance, so I don't think its the soil or the climate that caused the lack of scent. It just isn't fragrant at all.... I am under the impression that Jung's does get all their roses from Edmund's....they don't grow any themselves. Therefore, they couldn't help me with the identity. Thank you again to everyone for your help! I am amazed so many people jumped in to help! Celeste

I had no idea the P roses would be so outstanding. It's been fun seeing so many that are totally new to me. Beth, I love Party Time, which does look a bit like a party waiting to happen. Poseidon is one of the loveliest lavenders, very elegant.There were so many in your group that had exquisite shading, like a watercolor painting, especially Premier Bal, Paw Maw, and Paradise. There are just too many I like,and I'm going to have to do a lot of looking up on HMF because they are new to me! Carol, your Purple Beauty has a lovely porcelain smooth look to its petals. Is it more purple "in person"? Sara-Ann, those are a gorgeous pair of Peace's. Seil, I love your Peace rose color variation with its soft yellow. Pinocchio is another with many lovely color shades. PJPII is just the most luscious white, and your photo shows every detail. Pat, that super clear photo of Paris d' Yves St Laurent is stunning (wish the name were shorter). Oh, I adore those frilly, cute Passionate Kisses. Your Peace blooms are close to those I remember on my Dad's Peace rose blooms back in the 50s--really, big, fat, and gorgeous. That rose was such a sensation then. As a kid, it was the only rose name I knew. Iris, that Pristine of yours--is it real? It's too perfect. Makes me want to touch the computer screen to feel those smooth petals. Snowheather, Pretty Lady is lovely perfection, but Peach Silk has me drooling. A bunch of us forum people have convinced Heirloom to offer Peach Silk again, we all like it so well. I hope this really happens. Curdle, that's a fine photo of Prospero. What a smoldering beauty. I've craved Chartreuse de Parme for years. Your luscious photo will have to do. Lynn, what a pretty bloom of Pure Perfume, especially since it's the first one. Brittie, oooh, I love your Prince photo. It's so different and evocative. Thanks for a look at all these beautiful and unusual P roses. Diane

I just moved i finally have room for roses who hoo.. had my 100 roses in a very small area.

I'm in cdn. zone 6b which I think is the same as USDA 5b. The rose was maybe 5' or less when it went into the garage for winter (potted). Probably the size of the bush form in your zone. lol. Don't know the eventual size. The bush form in the garden usually dies to the snowline unless the winter is mild, which it definitely has not been lately, so this one probably would too if put in the ground.
