Librarian - oh that's so sad that it's funny...deer can't reach it, but the squirrels can. Ugh! :)

Alaska is a beautiful addition isnt it.

I am mind of rethinking my order.

My Charles de Gaulle from this year is doing so well. Too bad that isnt offered again

Three more were added. Two Jalbert, Frilly Lilly (magenta/fuchsia) and The Divine Miss M (white), and Toby Tristam.

What? I gotta go see! Thanks Padawan! I added (to my list) The Divine Miss M and Artemis!

Kristine - yes, Alaska is beautiful!

I looked up "The Divine Miss M" in helpmefind: it is a cross of Kordes' "Sunny Sky" x Zary's Pope John Paul II I wonder how it compares to its parents?

Artemis has been on my list for a while, I ordered one from Angel Gardens that was supposed to ship in September but still hasn't shipped - I'm not sure what happened 🤷‍♀️ Hopefully I can get one from Palatine, it looks so beautiful!

Oh dear. I’m really trying to hold my list to nine(which in and of itself is a crazy amount of money) so they gotta quit adding temptation!

Oh oh , better go check the new additions

They really have some wonderful roses year

Frilly Lily and Dimitri wow!

Frilly Lilly is a Jalbert rose.

Good grief just when I think Im out I get sucked back in lol.

Your Pomponella is much darker than mine-I’m jealous!!

It's the cooler temps - happens every year!

I wish:( :( Mine is pretty consistently a mid pink. No fair!!!!

LOL!

My list so far is:

Blush Veranda

Lavender veranda

Rosemantic Pink (I want a second one)

I wish I had room for Ascot but unfortunately, from previous experience I know I do not.

As of today, and we know that things change in 3 months

Blue Girl

Roberto Alagna

Frilly Lilly

Orange Veranda

We will see if that changes or they run out

Kristine - I'm also going to try to get Blue Girl and Roberto Alagna. :) I think it's wise of Palatine to have us order in December...that way we can self-correct our choices many times as we dither over them...versus emailing them that we want to make changes. I've never done that. Bwahahaha!

Lala - yes, Rosemantic Pink is a good one. :)

Carol, I bet that Blue Girl will be a other must have this year. It doesn't say " limit one per family " so maybe they have lots

I sure hope so

I do hsve a couple of back ups picked out just in case

Kristine - I didn't notice that...you're probably right...they have lots! :) :) YES!!! :)

Hope that means what we think it does.

Two more roses (Schmitz) were added, Back in Black and Palatina Memento. The newly introduced roses are from $24-$29, a $3-$5 increase. I wonder if the new prices will apply to the rest of the roses as well (more likely).

My list changes almost every day. Last year I really really wanted Forever Amber, an Augusta Luise look-a-like in yellow, but the supplier, Weeks, never sent them out. In the meantime, there's a new similar one that I like a lot, Morning Glow, also Weeks, like a yellow Plum Perfect. No more than a couple for me to leave room for local finds. Rosarium always gets in a few surprises not listed online.

Thanks for the heads up , Rose Padawan. Interesting the 2 new roses are grafted on Laxa. I think Dylan Rose might be new, too.

Flowers, you’re smart to leave space for local finds, those bud and bloom plants are hard to resist.

Lala, I have a flower on Lavender Veranda that I swear has been open for 2 1/2 weeks. It’s probably the cool weather but STILL! Amazing rose, has put out nice blooms all season long on a 6” tall plant.

Helen that is great! I cant wait to get one.

Rose Padawan - thanks for the heads up...I've got to go take a look! :)

My list for Palatine:

Dylan

Larissa

Nahema

Pompon Veranda

Pomponella Fairy Tale

Ascot

AL

Thinking about the piano ones as well! Does anyone here have experience with any of them?

Not sure if I want Palatines Blue Girl or the original Blue Girl.

For sure

Crazy Fashion

Roberto Alagna

Frilly Lilly

Kristine I am very interested to see what everyone thinks of Palantines. I have the original and the fragrance is just so good that I’m going to stixk with that until Insee pictures that concince me a light fragrance is good enough.

Besides I had a very hard time getting my list down to nine as it was!

I'm going to try to get the new Blue Girl...then I'll have both the new and the old. :) :)

I go to the site every day to see what I have overlooked.

I counted 20 new roses from last year and that is a lot so trying not to go crazy this year.

The nice thing about ordering short roses is the ease of prunning and when you have 80 or more roses and are old that is important

Yes, that is very important...most of my roses don't grow very large...so that helps in the fall. I go many times to the 2 other places I order from...they still have not put up their new lists. Drat.

How many more are you thinking Carol ?

Carol, tell Don that now he is through with the deck, he needs to pop out the side of the garage to expand it. Not for the roses, of course, but to add value to your home and more shop space for him. What a crock that is--but maybe, it will work. Diane

Kristine - I want to get 18 altogether. So I'll see how they stack up against Palatine's roses. :) I've got quite a few that I want from there.

Diane - That's a GREAT idea! tee hee! And we do have room to add an extension. :) :) More shop space for him. LOL

Haha! Kristine you go to the Palantine site every day to check if there are new roses-I go every day to make sure they haven’t opened their shopping cart.

I know they said December but I’m paranoid they’ll try to be extra sneaky to avoid the rush😂

Oursteelers, There are some roses that say limit of one and some don't. So I am hopin that means that they have lots of those.

So far my wishlist has no limits and I have a few backups. I am determined to stick to 3.

But you are right to keep checking.

I might be out. You know, I am either in for ordering or I am out and right now I am leaning towards not ordering. That could change but there are a few roses that I want that arent sold at Palatine.

Right now I just dont see any must haves .

More for everyone else lol

Got my Palatine order in:

Augusta Louise

Baronesse

Coconut Ice

Gruaud Larose

Those were the must haves on my list. There are a few others I want but not badly. Could’ve gotten more but figured someone out there probably wants them more then I do. Good Luck Everyone!

AllSass - oooh...you're going to love Augusta Luise!

I got:

- Aubade

- Blue Girl

- First Crush (thanks, Kitty)

- Gruaud Larose

- Lasting Love

- Rosemantic Cream

- The Pride

- Rosemantic Fucshia (thanks, Kristine!!)

- Julia

YaY!!!!

Carol, great choices! It was so easy to order this year.

Allsas, I look forward to seeing your Baroness. I really wanted that one but I would have to add to my pot ghetto and it deserves an important spot.

And Augusta louise wasn't even sold out, lucky! Everyone who grows it seems to love it.

I also ordered Rosemantic Fuschia thanks to Kristine!

Oursteelers, yay! That is one great bloomer!

Im really looking forward to AL, not sure why I have waited this long!

@rosecanadian I see you ordered a Gruaud Larose as well. Will this be a new member to the family for you?

@Kristine LeGault 8a pnw I can relate to the pot ghetto. I’m re-landscaping and my driveway is lined with potted roses. It’s to the point now that I don’t know that I’ll ever grow a potted rose again!

Kristine - yeah, so easy! I slept in to get over this rotten cold, but I had my husband on lookout and he came and woke me at 10 a.m. (I think) and I got my order in so easily! I wonder if lots of people checked at opening time and then thought that opening day would be another day.

Oursteelers - we have a great network of friends here with lots of knowledge. We're lucky Kristine was on the case. :)

AllSass - yeah, I've never heard of Gruaud Larose before. Have you? :)

Carol, I'm glad you got aasuxh (such*) a good bunch, I always look forward to seeing how you grow your roses. I browsed all the options on Palatine, and if anyone is interested, you can get a sneak peek of the own-roots at HCR by typing in "New for 2023" in their search bar. Of course I looked at those too lol, and I looked at Northland Rosarium... 😬 But so far I haven't bought anything. Oh, and Heirloom. Haha. Who knows though, I might be so starved for greenery by March that I could cave for some Home Depot body bag (it's happened before). But so far I've been able to resist, more due to lack of space than any other reason. I might buy one or two next year depending omy stragglers have a 3rd bad season or not. I've got 3 on my potential ofvel (shovel*) list.

Magpie, where do you see a search bar at HCR?

Carol, Oursteelers was the one who sounded the alarm.

I had looked when I got up and they weren't open yet. I figured that they would go mid

Surprise!!

Sounds like it worked out for the most part

I haven't heard of Gruaud Larose as a rose but I’ve had their wines and I sure like those! I only noticed it yesterday and had to have it.

Magpie - yeah, it's hard to stay strong about not buying more roses when you're deep into January. LOL

Kristine - I had my husband prepped about what to do about Palatine last night. He was nervous about letting me down so he came upstairs to look at my computer every 20 minutes. :) Yeah, I was surprised that they opened the 1st of December...I thought they'd be mid December too.

AllSass - oh, wines! :) :) I don't like any type of alcohol (blech...too bitter)...so I wasn't aware of who he was. I should have googled...it's always fun to find out who a rose was named after. :)
