...when they do bloom this 2009! Hurrray!!! how totally awesome and dddddelightful!!! You see your photos do true justice to the Gemini because you can see its high-petalled formation, especially! on the side view closeups.. You get full flawless, absolutely breathtaking creams and pinks so it is so nice to see this instead of constant scarring from thrips. My camera cannot get as close as yours because I don't have a super closeup lens yet! maybe for Christmas from my rich, overly generous doctor brother LOL!...but then again, I'd only get bigger and bolder Attack of the Thrips movie poster imaging, lol! Interestingly you are in NJ so it seems your Gemini is far more even in colorations than mine... Mine will undergo a lot of color fluctuations within its bloom life, maybe because we get baking intense, scorching sun in Kansas? as opposed to less direct Northern sun where you're at... What a joy to see your Gemini! perhaps we can rename this thread to Gemini in blooms (Part I)! hugs and cheers to your Gemini!

Everyone thanks for chiming in on what this Mystery rose could be!!! I am looking into the Tiffany now. There are three different roses that were planted on the trellis. Two little climber varieties and 2 of these Hybrid Tea pink ones (as I get the same beautiful pink Hybrid Tea on each side). Here is a picture of the trellis and you can see how far it goes up. This was taken years ago and actually the bushes are much more established now and the little climber varieties are intertwined with this Hybrid Teas. I am thinking next year of taking it into the Rose Society here in Portland where there are some amazing Rosarians who love nothing more helping people figure out what they might be growing.

I don't have pics, but the construction is pretty simple: Just a sheet of polycarbonate in between a wood frame on the inside and outside, plus some trim, handles, hinges. Sealed with silicone. In the pics, each of the 4 panels is 1 polycarbonate sheet; there are 2 polycarbonate sheets per sash and 2 sashes total. There is vertical trim covering the gap between the sheets in each sash, and another piece of vertical trim that covers the gap between the sashes (which is attached to only 1 of the sashes, so the sashes can be opened independently). There's regular household weatherstripping to block the gaps around the edges of each sash.

Thanks for sharing! Gorgeous roses. Your Laguna looks so big and happy. I didn't realize I was such a fan of yellow roses until I've been seeing them more and more on here. Your Topaz Jewel is no exception.
