Friday's Blooms

More and more each day. The timing is way off on some of them. I have some ML that are opening soon and that has never happened.

KANSAS KITTEN - I nice small flower. I love the color.

ROSE F KENNEDY - I've had it for years and this is the best bloom I have seen. It is finally above the foliage.

CARIBBEAN WHIPPED CREAM - A great oldie

Caribbean Whipped Cream is having a very good year, but too much sun for good pictures. You are getting a lot of good Ripper pics. I have heard a lot of complaints about splotchiness in other years. As for RFK, my voice has been heard before--4 years and decline instead of multiplication. I was surprised though when recently Dale Hensley said it just wouldn't grow for him in South Carolina. So typical--some people claim it grows well for them, while many others are utterly frustrated and unimpressed. One person said that it is almost as though there are two strains out there.

Continued:

TIME FOR ETERNITY: One of the few Petits that I still grow. It blooms above the foliage.

Butter Cream - I love this yellow one.

Robert Ellison Seedling - I love the ruffles. I just wish it was a bigger flower. I will have to work on that.

ABSOLUTE RIPPER: I am impressed with this one and the color of the blooms. I see a cross with this one and the next photo in the near future.

HUMUNGOSAUR: First bloom ever in my garden.

That is all from me for the day.

Aloha looks like the flower is waking up from a nap, and pushing back the covers. :) Francis Meilland has torn petals...but there's just something about that rose that moves it up to ethereal. I can't stop staring at it. Wow!! Thank you!!! Carol

Nice group David. SCREEN PATTERN has a nice pattern showing. Carolina Cool Down looks a lot like ( but not exactly) Ribbit Ribbit which I grow here. I noticed that similarity when Debra has posted here photos of CCD. We had a couple of hours of light rain after midnight and suppose to get more later today. I don't count on it but at least the temp has dropped a bit today. Stay cool and hope for more rain. Julia

The next three are Bud Bennett intros: FOOLISH KISSES: A cute small flowered one. COCKY AND BOLD: This one is tall and big. I love the open throat and the color. WILD CHERRY WINE: One of my all time favorites CONNIE CAN'T HAVE IT: Polytepal today. Great plant. I have one of its offspring in TWEAKED OUT which is a UFO. Just acquired it in the fall. BLACK FALCON RITUAL: A real standout this morning. I love the ligher midrib bisecting the petal. This is a great looking plant with good plant habit. LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAIL: Dug into it for a sale this spring so the scapes are not as tall. FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: It has struggled for several years here. I decided to move it last fall and it is finally rewarding with 2 scapes per fan (as its claim to fame). I have three fans with 6 scapes. Can't wait to see how it increases. Thanks for looking and have a great evening or day (depending on when you see this). David

Kasnsas Kitten is a lovely color. Your Rose F Kennedy bloom is perfect. Mine is reblooming right now. Oldie or not CARIBBEAN WHIPPED CREAM is a lovely one, and I always like Absolute Ripper.

I like your cantaloupe orangy colored seedling. I wish someone would hybridize one in that color that would be sunfast in the heat...........Maybe it was you, but many many years ago someone posted Caribbean Whipped Cream on this forum and I looked for years trying to find it. It still is a beauty.........I grew Kansas Kitten the one year I got rust. I thought it had missed it, but late in the autumn it caught up with it too. I had to pitch it. Because of our climate, it didn't have the pretty purple colors you and others show on it, so I wasn't too sad to see it go....................Maryl

RFK is still one of my favorites but not sure I'd invest in it. Absolute Ripper is quite a show piece.

It is a struggle to get good pictures at the moment as the usual cloudy Southern Tier of NY is getting quite a bit of sun. As far as RFK, it has increased from 2 fans to 4 fans in three years. I will see how it looks next year, before I consider moving it.
