I think I remember a thread I found a couple years ago about Elle and the consensus was to get it.

for some reason i think seil and Ben have it.

Thread was called “Tiffany or Elle?” or something similar. Maybe one is a parent to the other?

I loveeeee beverly! Her fragrance is my favorite out of all of my roses. I also like her vase life, thick petals, and her leaves.

Elle is in my top three roses. I LOVE the fragrance, great bloomer and she's pretty unfazed by 100 degrees and above.
Koko Loco I have in a tree rose, and it also is a heat star.

I bought Koko Loco ~3 years ago after seeing it in full bloom at a friend's house. Love the color and the blooms, but it is pretty darned stingy. My friend and I discussed it about a year ago, and he agrees about its stinginess. I was really tempted by Beverly, but based on comments on HMF, it sounds like it would ball a lot in my cool coastal Calif climate. Alas...

Among three roses, I only have Beverly. I bought it at Lowes when jt was on sale for $15. It has strong disease resistance and fragrance. I don’t see blackspot at all even I’m in wet Seattle (I spray neem oil weekly though).

My Koko Loco blooms all the time-- maybe it just needs it hot? I see you're in Santa Barbara.

Wow htracyn your beverly is stunning! I like that almost neon bright it has. Its bright but not unpleasant, has a certain freshness to it.

Never had Beverly but I do have Elle and Koko Loco.

Elle is one of my very best bloomers with big flushes that repeat quickly. Always changing colors and form from bloom to bloom. Beautiful fragrance too. Here it does black spot some but it doesn't deter it from blooming. Not a worry for you but she is very winter hardy as well.

Koko Loco is an intriguing color changer too. While not as vigorous as Elle it does give me nice bloom flushes. My plant has remained very small as it takes a bit of a hit each winter but it still survives. Black spot can be a problem. No fragrance that I can smell.

Boy , I was hoping one of these would be eliminated!! But instead I find myself thinking I need to save for all 3. Why do I love roses so much ? It going to make me broke !! I definitely will be there for Beverly and if koko stays small well what the heck I can squeeze that in and Elle is Just so beautiful with the yellow at the base !! Thanks for the pics . I can almost small Beverly and Elle from here!

htracyn, OMG on your pics of Beverly! Unfortunately, my local nursery doesn't carry it (they have a big rose field), so I can't check it out in person. But I'm drooling over it even more after seeing your pics, and particularly since you're in Seattle!

Carla, you could very well be right about Koko Loko wanting more heat. I might try moving it closer to my hot driveway!

I am in SoCal like you, Orange County in the foothills, it is hot and dry in the summer. I can only speak for Beverly because I dont have the others you ask about, but here she takes the heat like a champ, smells wonderful, and really cool, in winter right before pruning her leaves look perfectly green, not all edged with brown or scraggly or what have you. I believe our water has a lot of salts in it that build up over time in the earth since dont have much rain--does not seem to phase her in the least. Right now she is throwing out a huge new cane with the 2 recent rains we had. Have fun with your choices!

That's a beautiful strong pink on Beverly. Had not seen that one.

I've had Koco Loco a few years. It's a good bloomer and I love the color.

Wow, Susan, if I lived in Santa Barbara I'd go to Otto and Sons every weekend! They claim they have over 700 varieties of roses!

Carla, Otto and Sons is actually a little over an hour south of us. It's an amazing place. But we have a nursery here in SB less than 3 miles from my house (La Sumida) that specializes in roses. They have bare roots in big containers of mulch starting the week after Jan 1, and maintain a huge rose field of potted roses from March-November. Not the huge selection that Otto has, but they're 5 minutes from my house!

Kathy, that's the thing about microclimates. I'm 1.5 miles from the ocean, so I get some significant balling on susceptible roses. If I lived even 2 miles up the road closer to the foothills, it wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Beverly: Carefree and very fragrant. Do others remember her being a good repeater throughout the summer? (I don’t remember much from her during July/August, just that she was very good in spring).

Elle: Also carefree and a nice citrus scent. This one did repeat well, and is the quite the changeling. Sometimes you will find different colored blooms on the same plant which I think is quite fun. I’ll second that she’s extraordinarily hardy...after the polar vortex which got down to 0F here, Elle not only kept all her canes, but miracuously all her LEAVES were not damaged!

JC, you have a good memory, I did start a Tiffany vs Elle thread, and ended up growing them both. They both did well for me. I’d say Elle performed just a bit better, but I slightly prefer the look and fragrance of Tiffany.

OIh my heavens!!!!! Such gorgeous roses...especially Beverly!!! My Beverly never amounted to much. Maybe it likes more heat than it gets here. WOW....such stunning pictures, everyone!!!

Elle looks like a dainty little lady, but man oh man, she can withstand anything nature throws at her.

Mine is well over 20 yrs old and is always the last one blooming...with snow covered blooms!

She is a wonderful rose that takes our harsh Canadian winters without a care in the world.

Some years she's been neglected, but when she's pampered and well tended to, she absolutely glows.

Tammy - I especially love your last picture! Elle sounds like a fabulous rose!! Your roses are stunning! :)

Thanks all for the loverly Beverly pictures! I happened to be in Lowes today and they had 2 gallon Beverly for sale at $15. I grabbed one that had the most patels. it smelled great! I also got a summer romance for $10.

Pigtail - I love your avatar picture...such piggy cuteness! You go a great deal on those roses!

rosecanadian: thanks very much! yeah I never expected to find good roses in our Lowes and felt really lucky!
