here is my globular bloom collection. I hope you show me yours. I love this look so much that I don’t even care if the blooms never completely open. Looking forward to seeing those globular blooms I am sure you all have adorning your gardens.

Forgive the burned areas. DH was helping me kill weeds with his new torch lol. Princess Ann

Pomponella not looking great. The blooms always look kind of rough so far.

Nice!

Beautiful! Someone should do a quartered rose form thread next :)

Thank you Jim! I hope you and you wife are doing great.

So, your husband is a flame thrower, too? My sympathies.

I love this bloom form, Dianela, and wish I had more. Yours are excellent examples.

Spirit of Freedom

Ambridge Rose. I love this one SO much. Love the fat rosy round buds, too.

Earth Angel. Mine has never looked great.

Jude the Obscure. No blooms this year. Leaving next spring. What a fragrance, though!

Wow Ben thank you for sharing such amazing looking roses. I LOVE your Jude. I ordered mine after falling in love with your pictures of Jude. I am hoping to get some of those gorgeous blooms next year. Fingers crossed.

Your Eden is one of the nicest I have ever seen. I always wanted that rose, but I am assuming it would be a complete black spot disaster here. Your earth angel has so many blooms, how is your rebloom? This one is one would be incredible if it rebloomed better in my garden. I got it as a band in I think in 2017 and have big hopes for next year. Outrageous is a rose I am not familiar with, it is healthy?

Ohhh Flowers my husband would likely get along with your husband lol and burn everything in the yard down while helping created new beds.

Your roses are amazing! Country living and the Ambridge rose are some I am not familiar with, so I’ll go look them up. I can’t wait to get my hands on Spirit of Freedom some day. Your earth a angel looks wonderful in every way. I hope you have amazing Jude blooms next spring.

After I got over the shock of seeing my yard and garden on fire I just look the other way when he's blasting through large areas of brush. We've got to take the good with the bad and just appreciate the faster approach to creating new beds, however frightful it is. Boys will be boys. After using the chain saw last week, his jeans were shredded. Only a few cuts on his leg. I do my best to stay calm.

Jude has only had one semi good year out of about 6. I wish that perfume could be bottled. When he's good, he's very, very good.

Spirit of Freedom will no doubt climb for you. She's unbelievably gorgeous as a climber and might be a good substitute for Eden if you feel that one would be too black spotty.

Wow, such gorgeous photos. Globular roses are my favorite. Now I'm longing for a Jude. I tried growing him twice and he didn't grow for me. Earth Angel has been sluggish.

Abraham Darby is globular with the plants in the ground. Not the ones in pots.

Noseo wow the color and blooms of Abraham are just to die for. That is another rose and Evelyn that I have always wanted but never actually got. Wow those blooms are just too beautiful. How is your Alnwick? I planted 6 of them this year around 2 feet apart hoping for a grand display of blooms, and they are still very small and thin, those blooms are are incredibly beautiful.

Rekha I am so sorry the picture won’t post. This site is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with and posting pictures. Would love to see your brother Cadf.

Wow lily awesome! The only one I grow from your bunch is Queen of Sweden. Any of those were particularly great performers for you in TN? I am so glad you are in rose heaven California gardening now, but I miss having you here in humid black spot garden to compare notes. =p

So beautiful everyone! Here are mine: Star of the Republic, Lady of Shallot and Gruss an Teplitz.

Beautiful Stephanie! They are amazing. Does your spirit of freedom changes colors with the weather? Your first picture looks apricot instead of lavender. I love roses that change colors.

Thanks Dianela! My Alnwick is doing very well, in fact it got too big for its spot this year. I planted another one this year because I like it so much. I hope yours do well for you in the coming season. they start out skinny and spindly, but they do fill out with time.

I had a lot of trouble posting as well, and had to write my entry three times before I figured out how to get it to post. I wrote the text first, and then submitted, then "edit" and added one photo at a time, clicking "submit" after every entry. Needless to say, by the time I wrote my last post, it was much shorter than the first one.

I found only two photos would post when it used to be ten. Houzz is making it harder, just when Winter is coming and we find that hard enough.

Dianela, noseometer is right Alnwick fills out. My poor root eaten one has turned into this when 6 mo ago the roots were gone.

Shelia, that's a miracle your Alnwick came back with scarcely any roots at all.

Mine also started out very skinny but filled out over a few years. It was so skinny, I even wedged twigs between some of the canes to spread them out. It's nice and full now.

Geeze, that is pretty amazing that your Alnwick made such a glorious comeback

Here is the only picture of Olivia being globular

So many gorgeous pictures everyone! This look has grown on me in recent years, but not many in my collection. That will be changing, however.

Lady of Shalott is a good representative. I do have a few others that can have that look though.

My goodness, these are all swoon-worthy.

Lilyfinch, that Huntington Rose is absolute perfection. I think I need one in my garden. <3

Dianela, Opps that is Star of the Republic, not Spirit of Freedom, I don’t know where my brain was.....lol. I don’t even own SoF! But I see so many pictures of that amazing rose here, it feels like I have owned it at some point :-) I also love changeable blooms! My Compassion climber has colors anywhere from medium pink, cool weather, to light apricot, hot weather. I will now go edit that post in Safari/browser to correct it. The Houzz app doesn’t seem to have a feature to let you edit. I am also limited to 4 photos per comment in app.
Shelia, those darned critters! Amazing that it survived. Just goes to show how hardy roses can be.

I’ve tried posting pics three different times with no luck. I give up! But I did want to say these are all fabulous and make me so excited for spring!!!!!!

Noseometer, Trick if I write a long text and worried I will lose it, not just in Houzz but other places/tasks too. If on iPad, I first highlight the text by holding my finger on text until menu appears. Then “Select All” Then select “copy” to keep it on the virtual clipboard. Then if post fails I select “paste” in the new comment entry and it all comes back. If I am on a PC, I highlight text with a mouse, then hold down “ctrl” key down while hitting “c” key for copy and “ctrl” “p” to paste. If on a MAC, I hold down the key just to the right of “ctrl” key instead. It will place the text on a virtual clipboard for quite a while.

The globular form is my favorite, but is very hard in our climate. When its it's cool, the blooms ball, when its hot,it's hot, they open too fast or fall apart.

I had Jude who had the most perfect globes, but a few blooms over many years and this yr he kicked the bucket. I have brother cadfael whom I am pampering in a large planter. Some other start out globular for, my MEC, heritage, lady of shallot etc sometimes have this form.

Any suggestions from others in a similar climate?

Stephanie, I have to make that a habit, just like periodically saving a document while I’m working on it, just in case the system crashes. I learned that the hard way also!
