Favorite roses - by color
Comments (18)White: Alba: Alba Semi-Plena. I love its entire beauty, from the blue-green leaves, big white petals and that golden boss of stamens. Old Garden Tea: Le Pactole Noisette: "Lamarque" I was looking at the vast and vigerous plant of Lamarque at the Berkeley Botanical garden, where it grows on a large wooden structure, so beautifully and so cleanly. Species: Rosa arvensis sometimes called 'Shakespeares' Musk'. I love its vine like growth habit, blooms and dainty rosehips. Pink: Tea: Mme. Antoine Mari, "Mme. Berkeley" Mlle. Cecille Brunner. Peach to Flame hues: Polyantha-Tea "Perle d'Or" Tea:Anna Olivier Pernetiana cl. "Duquesa de Penaranda" This is the most disease resistant Pernetiana in the Morcom Park collection, and when I first saw it in bud, I was reminded of "Anna Olivier", in addition to this, to my nose they both have a similar fruity fragrance, but D. de P. has richer flame hues. I could not believe how healthy this rose is, and helpmefind also tells that D. de P. is disease resitant. I always think I should like "Buff Beauty" more than I do, but it is this Pernetiana that rings my chimes, for all the nuances it shows in its flame pink and orange blends of hues. "Soleil d'Or" is another rose I tend to stare at in admiration when I come across it. "Mari Dot" Yellow all the yellow Tea roses in the world. "Etoille de Lyon", I think may be my favorite. species hybrid: Mermaid. Red: I never cared much for red roses until I met "Gloire des Rosomanes" It appears more ancient in its bearing than it is, though from 1825. Those white streaks delight me, and this rose seems like an old freind to me, that might sound odd, but its true. Luxrosa...See Moremulti-color rose bush
Comments (1)mheitman, there are several roses which have that characteristic. If you can get a picture of one or more blooms, we may be able to tell what it is. IF it is a single (just five petals) it is very likely 'Mutabilis,' an old China Rose. But there are others, and they have more petals. Jeri...See MoreMulti-color grafted roses
Comments (6)I have a couple more multi-color grafted roses, but they're not as dramatic and don't bloom as much as the iceberg one. This one is a grafted rose tree of Living Easy/ Easy Going that has pure yellow and orange roses: The contrast is not that dramatic because the yellows and oranges are in a similar color range. The red roses on this one are Olympiad and it also has white roses edged in pink that I don't recall the name of: Not too many roses right now, but it was covered in roses earlier in the season. Early this year, I had also purchased a couple of grafted tree roses of Julia's Child (yellow) and Ebe Tide (purple). I was really lookinf forward to seeing these in bloom, but when they did, they turned out to only have yellow roses, so I took them back....See MoreShow us your bi-colored & multi-colored roses
Comments (56)seil - what a sweet bloom on Tattooed Lady. Being a tattooed lady myself, I might need to find a spot for that one! msjam2 - your photos are beautiful. I second Sara Ann about Distant Drums. I have one coming this spring as well. I also really like your raised stone border... was that DIY? I'd love to do something like that for my own beds!

Bella Roma- Intense, sweet fragrance, big flowers, long, strong sturdy thorny stems, glossy leaves, great vase life, relatively healthy. I love this rose, you will too.
Typhoo Tea- Bred from Fragrant Cloud and even more fragrant if you can believe it. This rose gets tall and has long, thorny stems, big fat blooms with lots of petals. I love this rose.
Double Delight- Must have rose. Medium well behaved bush, good repeat, intense fragrance, color vary with sun/cloud mix.
Cinco De Mayo- FLoribunda, mild scent, low growing , very floriferous.
Escapade- Floribunda upright habit, mild scent, will flower in part sun.
Pat Austin- Flowers droop, interesting musky fragrance, the deer love it.
Secret- Very sweet smelling blooms, short plant, not real vigorous or floriferous, but the fragrance alone makes it worth growing.

8 years agoHere are a few of mine:
ABRACADABRA - An obscure J&P rose that grows pretty short for me, like barely 2ft. Love the colors it gets.
CANDIA - A florist rose that is really quite lovely. Grows about 3ft x 2ft.
DELANY SISTERS - A monster of a plant! Almost always in bloom with tons of blooms. Only problems are, she's extremely thorny, and grow like a dang octopus. If I don't keep her pruned, she gets like 4ft high and 6ft wide. She reaches out into the walkway and catches me all the time with those thorns! But, ya just can't beat all those massive clusters of blooms that last forever.
GYPSY CURIOSA - A gorgeous florist rose that changes shades and tones of apricot and red. She can be kinda stingy, but I just love this rose. Grows 30" x 2ft.
HEART O'GOLD - Big tall, excellent bloomer. Sometimes reaches 6ft x 3ft. Decent repeat.
KALEIDOSCOPE - There's a reason for the name! It really has a kaleidoscope of colors. Tans, mauves, pinks, apricot... Grows about 4-5ft x 3ft and repeats very well.
LOVE ME TENDER - I love the form on this one. And the coloring is so random. It can be white with a mauvey-pink edge or cream with a thin rim of bright pink. Sometimes it finishes out to mostly that mauvey-pink or will fade to all cream. It's about 30" x 30".
MEILLAND DECOR ARLEQUIN - I love this crazy rose. It's in a big ceramic pot and grows about 7ft tall and 2ft wide. The early spring blooms are often like this one, with red stippling on yellow or amber. Rest of the time it's a pinky-red with yellow reverse. Blows pretty fast tho.
NOSTALGIE - One of my favorite red and white roses. I love the way the red edges make the white center glow. Grows about 3ft x 2ft.
PAINTED MOON - This one is rarely out of bloom. The colors are constantly changing from apricot and red to orange and pink or amber and coral. Grows about 3ft x 3ft.

8 years agoSara Ann, I've always wanted to grow Brigadoon...and your gorgeous picture is making me want that one even more :) I'm not familiar with Seashell, but it's a beauty, too.
Ameri2nal, I almost ordered Escapade for this year, but read conflicting reports on blackspot resistance & fragrance. Yours is lovely...maybe I need to reconsider that one. Love your picture of Typhoo tea!
Beth, Not sure where to start with yours! I think MEILLAND DECOR ARLEQUIN is my favorite, and KALEIDOSCOPE, and GYPSY CURIOSA and PAINTED MOON...and all of them :)

8 years agoI tend to gravitate towards the bi-color and multi colored ones so I have quite a few. They fascinate me because every bloom cycle you can get a different look depending on the conditions they had to grow in. It always keeps the garden changing and interesting.
Bulls Eye can vary a lot in color saturation.
Brilliant Pink Iceberg is a mottled pink and white.
Bella'roma has a dramatic coloring.
Baldo Villegas looks like a mini DD.
California Dreamin
Crescendo can have different looks.
