Wow Lynn, not only do you have a lot of roses, you have some really cool ones.

I have

Munsted wood 2

Julia Child 4

Gruss an Aachen 2

Darcy Bussel 2

Bolero 2

Desdamona 4

I would like more of Olivia Austin and

Crimson Glory

I don’t think I’ll ever have multiples because there is only so many places to plant but SO many roses out there. I could have ten acres and it wouldn‘t be enough

I have the following:-

Mme Jules Bouche 3

Seafoam 2

White Meidiland 2

Marie Pavie 3

Arctic Sunrise 3

Little White Pet 6

Julia Child 2

The Mayflower 2

Moje Hammarberg 2

Cl Pinkie 2

Raspberry Cream Twirl 2

Reve D'Or 2

I wish I had space for multiples of the same rose! If I did, I think I would plant multiples of the roses I most often use for cutting: currently Abe Darby, Versigny, Sonia Rykiel, Munstead Wood, and Gertrude Jekyll (and Gertrude gets used for making rose jelly too, giving me another reason to have a second -- although I'm hoping to get a damask rose or two for that purpose as well). Marie Pavie is also a strong possibility for multiples. I love that rose! Recently I planted Grandmother's Hat, and it is so wonderful as a baby plant that I might think about planting a second if I had space -- but more likely planting one of her sports, like Tina Marie, to get another plant with her outstanding characteristics but in a different color.

Looks like you all have some great multiples.

I have two each of the following

Beverly

Poseidon

Belinda’s Dream

Liebeszauber

Double Delight

Zephirine Drouhin

Pope John Paul II

Dark Desire

Sunsprite

Dream Come True

Love Song

Tiffany (4)

I would like to have multiples of Zaide and Francis Meilland for sure. The way my Earth Song looks right now, I would definitely love to have another one, just don’t want it to take five seasons to get to that point!

Wow! A great question! Right now I’m just trying to get one of everything that might grow here, but I love your lists! :-)

I have many potted back up plants of roses I like but ones I have multiples of in the ground are:

Clotilde Soupert 4

Marie Pavie 2

Maggie 2

Blossomtime 2

Carefree Beauty 2

Earth Song 2

Ballerina 2

Lavender Lassie 2

Grandmother's Hat 2

Souvenir de la Malmaison 2

Leander 2

Caramel Fairy Tale 2

Tamora 2

Charles Austin 2

Geoff Hamilton 4

Gartendirektor Otto Linne 2

Yolande d'Aragon 2

Cardinal de Richelieu 2

Orpheline de Juillet 2

Charles de Mills 3

Moonlight 2

Purple Skyliner 2

Heritage 2

Mary Rose 2

Ambridge Rose 2

Claire Rose 2

Edgar Degas 2

Westerland 2

Well Being 2

New Dawn 2

I'll probably cull some of these to make room for new ones. This is kind of a meaningless list on my part because I don't necessarily have multiples of these because they're my absolute favorites. Sometimes I just had an extra plant and put it in a spot where I needed a plant or thought it might survive. But looking over this there are not many I want to part with.

Love your list sultry!

How do you like Desdemona, Kristine? It is on my purchase from DA list, but I do not see much written about it on GW nor do I see many images.

Glad to see that you grow Neptune, Ben. It performed well in LV so at some point I will likely grow it again...

Your garden must perfume the air, Sultry. Now I select disease resistant and fragrant as top priorities, well once I have looked at it and said: "wow that is pretty"!

Let's see:

Iceberg x 5

Bolero x 6

Abraham Darby x 5

Marie Pavie x 5

Bishop's Castle x 3

Alnwick Castle x 4

Pure Perfume x 3

Munstead Wood x 2

Evelyn x 3

Eden x 2

William Shakespeare 2000 x 2

I suppose I could have much more variety if I didn't plant in multiples, but the original idea was to plant the entire garden with only one variety of rose, something like 30-40 bushes of say, Iceberg. I'm sure you could guess what happened then, not only with indecision, and the multitude of choices, but the discovery that a variety is not guaranteed to perform well, especially it seems, in my garden. Then there is the issue of the joy of taking cuttings. At one point I had 15 Marie Pavie waiting to go into the ground, a dozen Fabulous!, another dozen Bolero, and another half dozen Alnwick Castle. When I get excited about a rose, I get a little crazy. The garden seemed so big and empty when I started.

Marie Pavie, Florence Bowers Pink Tea, Blue for You, Sweet Nothings

Lynn, Desdamona is new and still getting into his/her groove but so far I like Bolero better.

Great question! I have very limited space, but do have some multiples:

Olivia Rose Austin x 2

Pretty Lady Rose x 2

Cream Veranda x 2

Belinda's Dream x 2

Munstead Wood x 3

Princess Charlene de Monaco x 3

Spirit of Freedom x 2

Most of these are planted together. I plan to get more Olivia Rose Austin too. She's quickly becoming my favorite!

I have 2 or more of the following: South Africa, PJPII, Black Magic, Red Intuition, Gift of Love, Rose’, Ty, Grande Amore, Baby Boomer, Tammy Clemons, Erin Alonso, Beverly, Heritage, Poseidon, Plum Perfect, Conundrum, Autumn Splendor, Memphis Queen, Chessie’s Favorite, Sweetness, Welcome Home, Paradise, Veteran’s Honor, European Touch, Moonstone, Whirlaway, Sunny Sundays, Babies Blush, Louise Estes, Ring of Fire, Parole, Randy Scott, Mohana, Rainbow Niagara, Springs A Comin, Violet Mist, Salute, Breath of Spring, Lauren Leigh, and St. Patrick. I like having back-ups! Based on the positive reviews of Violet’s Pride, I purchased it this spring and so far, I am mesmerized with it...another one in the future? Ring of Fire is another one I highly recommend if you like oranges.

Thanks Sara ann :)

Lynn yes the garden is pretty fragrant here but roses aren't the dominant scent. I have brugmansia, Michelia alba and figo, Rangoon creeper, and several varieties of jasmines and jessamines that perfume up the air and kinda cover the rose scents for the most part lol.

My rose multiples aren't all super disease resistant but just varieties that I love for one reason or another.

Just remembered that I have a few more rose multiples.

Alnwick x3

Jubilee Celebration x2

ETA..forgot I have Strawbwrry Hill x2 lol

Over the years I've grown a lot of roses. Some became favorites. Some ended up on the burn pile. Some were given away. I'm now at the stage in my gardening where I want several of my favorites to make big bouquets. This is what I have multiples of.

If something comes along that looks interesting, I will probably get one, put it in a 10 gal. pot and see what it really looks like.

I plant all roses except climbers in groups ranging from 2 to 9 roses of the same type. Several people have mentioned how my garden looks more mature than 3 years old, but I think I have my group planting to thank for that and no actual skill on my part.

There are some great lists here! Dianela, that’s a great idea to plant groups of the same type. I’d love to do that, if I had the space. A big reason I grow roses is to enjoy them inside in arrangements. That’s probably why my yard is crammed with all sorts of flowers, wherever they fit. I grow three Bolero and two Princess Charlene de Monaco’s, because they make such good cut flowers. I have two Annie Laurie McDowell’s, but one hasn’t been planted into the ground yet. Lisa

I thought I have so many roses, but some of you *really* have some bountiful gardens.

Dianela,

I’m sure planting in groups is beautiful, but your own hard work and skill really shine in your garden too!

Sultry

What a paradise for those cute frogs. Is there any rose in particular they prefer?

Kentucky Rose,

I love your list, makes me want to get another Parole too.

Lynne

I think Neptune is the most beautiful and fragrant lavender HT, but it’s more a quality over quantity rose, it doesn’t cover itself with blooms, but the individual blooms can be magnificent

I'm impressed by the multitude of roses some of you have, in addition to the number of duplicates. I have only a few doubles and no triples:

Plum Perfect

Souvenir de la Malmaison

Evelyn

Wild Edric

Le Vesuve

Bishop's Castle

Mme. Lambard

Baronne Henriette de Snoy

I have two because I wanted LOTS of the same blooms is Medallion, two are on fortuniana, 2 own roots in pots, and one at my office. I also have two of Hot Princess. The other mutliples are are for different reasons..... I have two Neil Diamonds, because the first was growing backwards... now the the 2nd is too... grrr... I love his looks and his SCENT... but he just HATES my garden. I have two sugar moons, however, the 2nd one was suppose to be Pope John Paul II, and I have two Love Song... I bought one and won the 2nd won at our rose society meeting... I normally like to purchase different plants, because I want as many different blooms as possible.... To be FAIR if Neil Diamond did WELL I would NOT mind having two.... maybe even THREE.... but for some reason it doesn't do well here.

Sharon, I had Neil Diamond and eventually sp’d it. The blooms were beautiful and fragrant, but the bush didn’t thrive and lots of BS.

Hi Ben, thanks for the nice comment :) The frogs seem to like deep roses with lots of petals to hide in. A few favorites of theirs is Peach Swirl and Raspberry Cream Twirl. Maybe its the stripes? lol.

I really didn't realize just how many multiples of roses I have. More of what works- I guess, lol. I'm already planning on getting some duplicates of some others like Spirit of Freedom and Lavender Crush next spring. Love those two! ♡♡

Those roses are on my list too SJN. I have not been able to find SOF ( I would make room for it)... It has been rather disconcerting...

I love reading everyone’s lists! My multiples are:

Zephrine Drouhin (4)

About Face (2)

Eden (2) plus (1) Pretty in Pink Eden

Love Song (2)

Coretta Scott King (2)

Louise Clements (2)

Autumn Sunset (2) *

I have around 85 roses in all so if I want more I pretty much have to dig up something else etc.

*first Autumn Sunset I just got own root end of summer last year. I moved it three time so far since spring (poor thing) so no roses yet. So a month or so ago I ordered the second one as a bare root and planted in my backyard side garden. Lots of leafy growth and maybe I’ll see a rose soon .. fingers crossed!

Black Magic

Always and Forever

Mr. Lincoln

Barbra Steisand

Perfume Delight

Over the Moon

I have doubles of many of my roses as my main bed sare symmetrical, so duplicates for me means multiples. New Dawn takes the prize with 7. It's the perfect rose for me to have as a backdrop on a low fence or balustrade. Pink Pet is another I'm rooting like mad since it's a non-stop bloomer with perfect health in my garden. If only it were fragrant. I also have many Mme.Norber leVavasseur as she blends with so many colours. I'm also rooting tons of The Tooth Fairy since I love this rose and she adds a note of airiness to heavier blooms. I also have a few Ballerina going as she's my favorite this year blooming non-stop without any disease. She's been a surprise as I wasn't expecting that at all. I also bought an extra Summer Romance and Cinco de Mayo because they look good massed and I'd like to cut SR without feeling I'm ruining the "look" of the beds. Of course, I also have a lot of one-offs, but if one does well I'd consider adding more. I'm already thinking of ordering another Star of the Republic.

I love this thread. This is my first summer with roses so no multiples yet. A year ago I thought I would never want multiple of any roses because my wish list was so long but I'm already starting to plan on multiples of some lol. I do think I will have multiples of Quietness and Distant Drums soon.

The multiples I currently grow:

• Molineux 3
• Queen of Sweden 3
• Toscana Vigorosa 3
• Peter Mayle 5
• Elina 2
• Double Delight 2
• Eutin 3
• Green Ice 3
• 2 of another mini the name of which I've forgotten--something like Little Sunset or Winter Sunset.

In my retirement, I'm gradually cutting back on the number of roses I grow. Until recently, I also grew 3 Home Runs and 2 Double Knockouts, but they were all in a place where it was hard to drag the watering hose to, so I gave up on them.

I also don't have room to add more multiples--which is probably fortunate for my senior bones. Otherwise, I'd plant 1 or 2 more of Munstead Wood and LoveSong, both of which I dearly love, and maybe more Braveheart and The Fairy. And probably a couple rugosas.

Kate

To hear more about your utin and green ice. The latter has been on my radar since my first year but somehow I never seem to get it.

Thank you very much Ben, your garden sure looks amazing and I appreciate your compliment.

I've been growing multiples of Eutin and Green Ice for years now--partly because they are so self-sufficient and long-lasting--and rarely bothered by BS.

Eutin used to be a fairly big round bush about 4 x 3--with big luscious red blooming candelabra branches. Now, some 20 years later, they don't get that big and full, but they are still showy bloomers. I'm not sure if age is the problem. My zone 6 suffers a lot of thaw-freeze-thaw-freeze swings in the late winter--can be very hard on a plant. I suspect that has worn down the plants over all these years.

Green Ice is low growing and spreading. Mostly takes care of itself. About all I do is trim out deadwood in the spring, but that is quite some job, I tell you. Sharp little prickles on that mini!

You really should try out at least one of each. I think you will like them.

Kate

The place I have the most multiples of roses is in front of my house where it's a virtual zone 4 (so I need really hardy roses) and my husband wants a relatively tidy and uniform look. So there I have:

Sweet Fragrance X6 (love this rose) plus another one in the back yard

Calypso X 4

Music Box X 3

OSO Easy Mango Salsa X 2

Alba Meidiland X 2

Lavaglut X 2 or 3

Mango Veranda X 2

Elsewhere, I have intentionally bought duplicates of the following:

Soul Sister X 3

Campfire X 3

Francis Dubreuil X 2

Liverpool Remembers X 2

Sunny Knockout X 2

Caldwell Pink X 3

The Grayson Rose X 2

All the Rage X 2

Screaming Neon Red X 2

Golden Zest X 2

Laguna X 2

I also have some inadvertent doubles from mistakes in orders, free roses, or other such occurrences, with multiples of the following:

Robin Hood X 3

Queen of Sweden X 2

The Alnwick Rose X 2

Blue Girl X 2

Delany Sisters X 2

Sophisticate X 2

Winnipeg Parks X 2

That's all I can think of off the top of my head but I'm sure there are others. Mostly I'm a collector and would rather closely plant three different roses than the same one three times.

Cynthia

I share your sentiment regarding collecting, Cynthia. Anything I grew multiples of was also for a reason. Most of the multiples were placed in formal beds (Bolero for ex.), informal beds, or raised planters. Most of my roses were not duplicates and are grown in a potpourri of roses island beds. The family leasing our home in LV selected it because of the home, but the wife loves roses and fell in love with the garden. I hope all works out and they will be the people to purchase it when their lease is up next year... sparing us all of the real estate sales rigamarole, and I know the roses will have someone that appreciates/loves them responsible for the care.

For me just one in the Always and Forever rose :) I love this one for the deep red, its scent and the big beautiful blooms on it. Once it gets flowering it doesn't want to stop. Will do so right up to Sept-Oct. I bet my mom would love this one if she was still alive.
