Heck yeah!! Exciting isn't it?! And it seems like every time I check there are more, so I'm going to keep watching. I've got my eye on State of Grace, Sweet Mademoiselle, and Princesse Charlene de Monaco. My neighbor loves her Bolero so I might try that one, and I have been thinking about Apricot Candy for a while so was excited to see Matt had it in. Golden Opportunity is a child of Autumn Sunset which I really wanted but HCR no longer stocks it, so I am thinking that it might make a good alternative.

I've had Bright & Shiny for a year now and I am impressed with it. Will see how it comes back next year but the tops of the canes that are sticking out of the snowbank look good and green still. So I am optimistic that it is going to continue living up to my very high opinion of it.

Which ones are you looking at?

I am tending to many Autumn sunset this winter and hope they make it through and they're pots. I have to planted to hedge my bets. I believe long ago roses carries this Rose but now you have my interest with golden opportunity.

Did you take your own Autumn Sunset cuttings? How do you like it?

State of Grace looks beautiful.

I'm thinking about ordering a few of the very fragrant one. PCdM is top on my list. And then Sweet Mademoiselle, Dee-lish, Bolero and Fun in the Sun.

I've been thinking of ordering a few minis. My yard is pretty well packed, but there's always room for minis right? Though Fun in the Sun is pretty tempting. Wonder if it's actually hardy. I swore I was done. I already have Munstead wood, Boscobel, cherry parfait (replacement) Tangerine Skies, and Colette coming. One would thing that's enough.

Joey oh, it is extremely vigorous and Roots so easily. Gorgeous healthy leaves here in black spot Central. Not a whiff of disease. I've seen it in full flower and it is really beautiful with a lovely fragrance. If its progeny is half as nice it should be a winner. It makes me wonder about polka. However that color is a bit too orange for where I have my roses. Autumn Sunset has beautiful red orange buds that contrast so well with the opened flower. Linda at the long ago roses recommended highly

Vaporvac thank you, that's good to know!!

Joey,

I was loving Princess Charlene de Monaco. Zone 4 is a huge bonus and I don't think I have any others that look like it. I had vowed to try and be better with my zones this year so as not to have so much die back. So that one is top of my list.

I had 4 Apricot Candy at my previous home and they were great.

They were leggy HTs but bloomed a lot in full sun and the form was really great.

jc, I have apricot candy coming from Edmunds. The trait I dislike in ht’s are bare legs. Which do you think would look better, hardy geranium or catmint to cover up? They are my favorite go to “skirts” for naked legs

Thank you for the tip, mmmm12CO! Also, it looks like the inventory has been updated for 2021, and a lot of the old roses that were previously out of stock are now available - some of them are hard to find, so I’m so glad to see someone trying to keep them going!

oursteelers, I would choose catmint because it's taller.

They didn't have the worst bottom half I've ever seen, but would definitely appreciate some coverage.

I'll see if I can find pictures later today. This was over 2 years ago now.

this was spring time before it started to defoliate at the base.

Oooh, pictures! I love pictures, especially those that show the full bush. Beautiful rose. Thanks!
