Glorious, but tell us their names!

They are Crown Princess, Mustead Wood, Tamora, Lady of Shallot, Louise Odier, zepherin droulin.

Wow, what a nice start to your season.

Wow, your bushes are spectacular! I hope my DA roses will grow big and nice as yours, farmerduck. Love your Louise Odier rose and yellow flower combo!

Fantastic start! :)

They're gorgeous!

I love your CPM rose! Mine is still in a pot until I find a suitable space for it. Can I ask how tall is your CPM rose? Does it grow against any support?

Everything looks great.

How lovely! So fresh and perfect.

Lots of beautiful blooms and foliage.

They all look wonderful!! Love the colors!

Laguna

Wow you have some real beauties. I love your Laguna. How big is she there? Where do u live? I am in FL so I think Laguna will probaly be a huge thug here lol. I got her as a band last summer and she's already huge.

Fantastic photos! :)

l am in Northern NJ. Here, Laguna is a complete thug as well, on par with New Dawn. There is an Eden planted near it, and which has to be rescued as Laguna is choking the Eden. I plan to give it a severe cutting after this flush. Your Laguna likely will be gigantic :)

I can just imagine Laguna choking the life outta poor Eden lol. I might just give her to The Mermaid and let them duke it out on the back of the property line :D With the two of them back there, "None shall pass"

You have such vigorous roses!!! I really like your South Africa's color and shape!!! Awesome - you must be providing everything they need - great job!

Exquisite!! I'm still waiting here in s. central MA for mine to bloom, (sigh). A couple of roses are showing a bit of color in their buds but most are still completely green : ( so a couple more weeks. Hopefully I'll get some blooms before the dreaded JB's hit. Argggh!!!

Love your Heritage, she's so ephemeral. Just beautiful. I just moved mine and she's not looking too good. I'm watering her everyday and keeping my fingers crossed that she'll survive since she is so lovely and very disease resistant here.

Do you spray for black spot? I have Crown Princess Margareta and would love to keep her in my no spray garden even though she's grafted.

Sharon

Hi Sharon, I don't spray for fugal diseases. CPM is quite resistant, and keep most of its leaves during the growing seasons. Slightly worse off than Heritage, but not by much. You will enjoy your CPM!

Hope that your Heritage get well soon. It is really vigorous here, and I imagine it would be a hard rose to kill. It improves with ages and this year's bloom is by far the largest in the four years that it is in my garden.

Jasimin -- may be I will get The Mermaid just to control Laguna a bit. That corner of the garden has been a non-shall-pass area for a while. I have at the other corner of the fence Awakening and Cinderella Fairy Tale fighting it out. hahaha... With Mermaid, it will be a fortress.....

Thanks for the info on CPM. It's supposed to stay cool here for a while. Hopefully this will help heritage to recuperate from the move.

How tall and wide is your CPM, farmerduck?

If I recall correctly, it is an ownroot bareroot from DA Texas, and this is its third season. I pegged them as the cans are soft and floppy. I don't think that it will stand up without any support (or, if it will eventually, it is gonna take some time), and I would say that the full length of the longest cane would be about 6 feet. I grow it as a shrub, but it gets to lean against a low walkway wall. It should be a excellent small climber in my Zone 6 NJ. Vigorous plant, but not overly. Currently, with pegging/it flopping whichever way, the bush is about 4 feet tall and 6 feet wide.

This is more of a bush shot, before it is covered with bloom

They look fabulous! Congrats!

Love your garden. It is very beautiful and so natural. It is very soothing.
