I have to choose Silent Sentry since I also have this. It did superb for me this year and the color varied from light to dark purple depending on how hot or cool it was. When the weather cooled, it was such a gorgeous purple. That certainly is a nice looking FFO on Light Motif. A lot of them don't look that good. Vickie

Weeping China Doll gets my vote too as the spray is huge. The other blooms are lovely. I love fall--the roses put out blooms that are gifts to remember them by until next spring.

I've changed my gardening habits a lot over the last few years. I'm not an Organic garderner, but I am probably 95% organic.... I have really been feeding the soil a lot the last few years. They each get coffee grounds, banana peels, and egg shells throughout the Summer. They all get alfalfa meal in Spring and Tomato Tone once/month. So far this year the only sprays I have used are Spinosad once (for bugs), Mill Magic Easy Feed (organic fertilizer), and I am now experimenting with a mix of humic and fulvic acid with kelp. I am also trying another product that is a mix of beneficial mycorrhizae, trichoderma, and beneficial bacteria. One of the bacterias in the mix is the same as the beneficial bacteria found in a product called Actinovate which peony growers use to prevent fungal diseases. I'm hoping it will help prevent blackspot, but we will see. I don't have a lot of disease pressure here. I can get some blackspot later in the Summer, but usually not too bad. I think I sprayed the roses with Bayer for blackspot once last year. I really try not to spray, but I will pull it out once or twice a year if needed. I have not used it this year though.

Lovely, as usual! My Buxom Beauty has been pathetic this year, so far, yours looks good. Sometimes the blooms are huge on mine. Love the NOID white one too! Your roses look healthy!
