'Mme' Antoine Rebe' -- Fading, now, but you can still see the wonderful, silken texture of the petals.

Blooms from Yesterday & Today Southern Ohio

Purple Pinwheel stole my heart with its white midribs, and I love the sepals with "whitish" centers. That one's going on my wish list! Hope to see more of your beauties!

Comments (29)iris_gal, Sir John Betjemen is a great rose for a pot. He is about 3' tall and 3.5' wide. His color changes some with the weather, darker when cooler and lighter when it's hot.

I liked most of them, but I have only kept about 3 or 4 from that original group. The only one whose name I know is Hyperion....See More
