What a great selection of roses! It's funny though because I thought I had a lot of roses and I don't have a single one of those you've ordered. I can't wait to be enabled by others posts! :-)

I currently have four of the roses you named. Solero, Savannah and Pope John Paul II were new in 2019. Impressed with them all so far.

Beverly I’ve had for several seasons, better every year. This one has been very disease resistant, also vigorous, and fragrant.

Savannah is very disease resistant so far, I love its fragrance even more than Beverly

Pope John Paul II was amazing for me on multiflora, maybe a little blackspot, not bad though. Had plenty of blooms for bouquets even with just one bush. Love it so much, I ordered two more. Loved its fragrance too.

Solero bloomed the least, but got going later in the season, the bush is vigorous and disease resistant so far.

These are all on multiflora.

Most Kordes roses have done really well for me

I’m so excited you ordered Rose Marie! I have her coming in spring too! She’s one I don’t see mentioned a lot so it will be fun to compare.

Sharp intake of breath on that Savannah photo. What a sublime color. I love that shade.

Sara Ann, is Solero staying low to the ground for you?

Vapor, you can tell I like yellow and white roses! Two colors that tend to be tricky, so I keep trying. But overall my favorite color in the garden is a blend of pink and yellow, which just looks dreamy to me. I'm planning to put the two Garden Delights in the new bed that is bordered by Peach Drift -- small roses and big roses doing the same thing.

Oursteelers, I'm excited about Rose-Marie too! I love the look and color of the blooms. I understand it's a sport of Heritage, which I grew for years. Heritage was always reliable, though prone to blackspot with blooms that would shatter if you looked at them. I'm prepared for Rose-Marie to have the same issues.

suannne, I have Solero growing in a pot, right now I’m thinking it‘s gotten taller than I thought it would, but I’ll check tomorrow when I have some daylight. Actually I got it and Bliss Parfuma to go together.

Gorgeous Pope, Kenneth! He is obviously happy in your garden. I am hoping he will do better for me this time.

And thanks to you, the title of this post should now be: "I have 24 new roses coming this spring!" Thanks to your enabling in the other thread, I'm now also getting:

New J&P Introduction AA186-7 (mysterious fabulous yellow bred by Weeks)

Like No Other

Ebb Tide x 2

I had held off on my impulse to do a purplish border with purple irises, but once I had the shopping cart open at J&P those Ebb Tides and Like No Other just leapt in.

Suzanne you will love Ebb Tide! These are the first blooms of a band I got from HCR and ended up giving to my mother in law, she said it bloomed non stop all season with an incredible fragrance.

Gorgeous color, Joey!

Okay, I think I may have made a mistake with Red Riding Hood Fairy Tale (now The 1812 Rose) and Solero Vigorosa. I ordered them both from Palatine before reading every mention I could find of them on gardenweb and elsewhere. I'm now learning that Red Riding Hood, far from being the petite floribunda I expected, is in fact a monster who wants to throw 8-15 foot canes. And Solero is a spider with 8-foot arms. I have no idea where I'm going to put these.

Can you change your order?

I don't know; can I? This is the first time I've ordered from Palatine.

Suzanne yesss send Rachel and email she’s amazing . Hurry hurry ! She’s glorious I have modified my orders before left and right and good choice removing those roses I had red riding hood and said no because of how big she gets .

Yay! I will email them now!

Actually, I should probably go ahead and have in mind the two I'd like instead. Looking at what Palatine still has in stock...

Has anybody grown Bordeaux Cityscape?

Answering my own question: I see dianela has and it's great. But it's big! Lordy, is there no such thing as a small Kordes rose? (aside from Chica Veranda and Cream Veranda)

Suzanne your list of roses sounds wonderful. I grow Queen of Sweden, Desdemona and Jon Paul II. Like everyone one else here have mentioned they are excellent choices. There are many in your list I don’t grow and can’t wait to see in the future. I am always looking and looking for more awesome beautiful roses even tho I don’t know where to place them.

I saw your Bourdeaux question and that you saw my previous post. I know it definitely puts on some size, but don’t let that deter you. It just blooms and blooms even as a tiny plant so I think it could take some heavy pruning and still bloom well for you. Pruning can be a lot of work, but it would be amenable to it. Queen of Sweden is on the right side of my picture. It also requires summer pruning here to keep it around 4- 4 1/4’

Bordeaux at maybe 3 feet

Desdemona is an Angel of a rose. Always lovely and very well mannered in the garden. No crazy canes here, no summer pruning needed.

Bordeaux will get? How big?

Dianela, what a brilliant red rose! It does look good. But I definitely need short, and so I decided to ask Palatine if I could have two of Our Anniversary (https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.75844&tab=1). It was bred by Jalbert out in British Columbia and is reported to be BS-resistant and SHORT -- in British Columbia and in California. Beth in NorCal has posted about it and loves it.

I wish I could find more data on it, but I figure any rose that is short on the West coast has a good chance of being short here. And this will be at the front of the border, so I also like the fact that Our Anniversary is reported to have beautiful glossy foliage the first year. Heh, that's a lot of hope to pin on one rose. I should know better by now.

Dianela, what happened to your Lichfield Angel? I thought you grew Lichfield Angel along with Desdemona and Queen of Sweden. Your photos of those roses have been so beautiful that they inspired me to do a whole new Austin bed.

That Desdemona looks so sweet. And I love how Queen of Sweden stands straight up, like she's trying to see over the crowd. I expect Lichfield Angel to nod (read: sprawl), but the blooms look divine.

Wow Suzanne “our anniversary“ looks amazing. I really like the color and shape.

Vapor Bordeaux grew here to 5 feet tall here on its first season. I am not sure if it is done growing, but that sounds like it may get bigger if I let it. It never stoped blooming to grow.

ohh sorry I felt like I was missing something. Yep you will love LA :). The blooms do nod, but not all the time. I think it gets better with time. Here it hasn’t done anything crazy and it is growing steady with out huge octopus canes. I hope yours behaves also.

one Austin that so far seem to have very strong neck is Tranquility. It does grow big canes here, but definitely holds the blooms better.

Definitely lots of nosing going on here. This rose blends so well with everything.

I know these are not on your list but in case you need some more ;). The blooms don’t self clean like Lichfield angel and get dirty brown with age. I think it would make a good cut flower because they are thick petals, feel almost plastic to the touch.

Love those gorgeous pictures, dianela. Spring is such a glorious time for roses.

I am looking at all these beautiful rose pics and hoping that someday mine will be half as gorgeous! I too have an order for Spring to add to my small collection - I have ordered some David Austins (I have none now) - Jude the Obscure and Crocus Rose (and am thinking of adding Roald Dahl and Boscobel). I also ordered from Regans a few months ago - Princess Charlene of Monaco, New Zealand, Lavender Crush and Life of the Party.

Dianela, your roses are very beautiful, I’m in awe!

Suzanne, That looks like such a great list of roses! I only have experience with a few. Windermere was my first Austin, and I love it. It does appreciate water, so it hasn’t thrived as well in my (neglected) garden as it has in my in-laws well tended one, but it is a beauty! Holds up well to the heat. With sufficient water churns out perfect blooms all summer long. Fairly disease resistant. Pure, lovely ball shaped flowers.

Gilded Sun was picked up on a whim as a body bags, and it has sure earned its keep! It LOVES the heat, and doesn’t seem to mind drought, either. It is a mainstay of my warm colored garden, holding the fort with color no matter what is going on. It is probably my best bloomer in competition with Gene Boerner.

The Poet’s Wife was new to me last year, but I enjoyed the blooms I got from it. It settled in the fastest of my 5 new Austin’s, and have a very good show from a late playing. Clear, lemony yellow blooms tinged with white.

Daniela, those photos are incredible! That’s the look I always aim for, and never quite achieve. So very lovely. Keep doing whatever you’re doing.

Dilly, thanks for the reminder about Gene Boerner. I'm hoping they have this rose again with the Weeks bodybags at Menard's this year. Are you humid and BSy where you live?

Black spot, yes. Humidity really depends. Some years it’s very muggy, others we’ll have months of drought and the air feels like it could fry on contact.

Gene Boerner honestly bloomed itself into oblivion last year. It would send out a huge flush, defoliate, and then set a new round of buds as it was pushing new leaves, all while the old flowers were fading. Last year was its first year, so I’m hoping it becomes a bit more self sustaining as it settles in, but even if it doesn’t it’s incredible.

Dilly, thanks so much for the info on Windermere. Very good to know. And I’m thrilled with your report on Gilded Sun! Not too many people seem to have that, so it’s great to hear that it’s doing well for you. One thing we have plenty of here is heat, so hopefully it will be happy.

Suzanne I have three off your DA list, all were planted last year.

I can’t help but call her Dezzi, I have two, and absolutely love her. She blooms her head off and is super healthy in my garden.

Across the path from Dezzi is QoS. Mild myrrh fragrance, narrow, but taller than I was expecting. Very disease resistant for me. This year I’m moving her to the back, and putting Bliss at her feet.

The Poet’s Wife. Love, love, LOVE her! She stayed in the 3gal pot I bought her in all season, and surpassed my expectations. Big exceptionally fragrant blooms that remind me of fruit cups I used to get in my lunch box as a kid. I ordered two of her so I’ll have three for my mailbox garden. She does get some lighter colored blooms, I’m not sure if that will change once she is in the ground, but also very disease resistant for me. I don’t spray.

I almost got Savannah too this year, and I hope South Africa turns out good. This will be my first year with a few Kordes, I mostly have Austins atm.

Your Desdemona looks dreamy, Nick. So soft and pillowy. Love the warm pink of the Queen and the rich yellow of Poet’s Wife. Happy roses!

I haven’t grown any of the later Austins since they started breeding for disease resistance (allegedly). Interested to see how these do.

Yeah, the Kordes roses are going to be an adventure. I kind of feel like a horde of large, bristly Germans are about to descend on my garden.

Thank you very much Suzanne. I can’t wait to see your garden soon with all those new roses.

Thank you dillybeansown. I appreciate such kind words. I struggle to get the look I want all the time. Thank your for mentioning Gene Boerner. After seeing Vapors comment on that rose I had to google it. What a beauty. I love that color pink.

Thank you Sara, your garden is amazing and all your roses are gorgeous. There are several of them I would like to try here.
