Oh, I'm so glad this thread has resurfaced since I love Lim roses and I was too busy to post pictures a week or two ago. Teka, I really love the Lim Easy Elegance roses and I discovered looking over my lists that I have 20 different Lim Roses, and probably 30 counting duplicates. I'll post pictures in the next two responses starting with my 10 favorites.
I'll start with Music Box and Calypso, which are among the Lim roses I have duplicates of in my very cold north side of the house. They are rock solid trouble free bloomers all season, with blooms that are mutable from pale to more vivid colors depending on the weather. All the Easy Elegance roses are disease free for me and ridiculously hardy, so I won't bother to repeat that most of the time.
Here's Music Box. I put it in the front of the bed but it actually gets bigger than the 3-4' I expected from hmf. Not a giant, but it's not necessarily a front of the bed rose either. The cream-yellow center and vivid outer petals happens mostly in cool weather, but it's usually got some kind of color variation in the bloom and of the two you mentioned I prefer Music Box. This shots shows some of the subtler variability of the blooms and Patty's shows more of the pink mood of this rose.
Calypso was one I expected to be a groundcover 3' or lower rose, but it's more like 4' and likes to stretch out lanky arms to the neighbors. This one can look quite peachy in a good mood but fades to cream when it gets hot. It doesn't stop blooming however, and blends in nicely with other roses nearby.
My ultra-favorite Lim rose, and probably in my top 10 roses out of the 1000+ I grow is Sweet Fragrance. Needless to say I also have multiples of this one. It is maybe 5' tall, bushy, totally disease and trouble free, and blooms all season in a wretchedly cold spot with apricot blooms that STAY APRICOT. The palest bloom in this photo is about as pale as it fades. Boy that is not common in this color range. The only thing it's missing, ironically, is fragrance. I thought it was just me but others posted in with the same observation. These are fluffy fully double blooms with a kind of translucent sheen to the petals that really grabs me.
Sunrise Sunset is a great rose for exuberance of bloom and sheer territory it overtakes with no trouble whatsoever. Don't be fooled by the 2' height of this rose - it may be only 2' high but it wants to conquer 20 feet of space. Seriously, in the photo below it totally swamps a real climber (Illusion) and about four other roses grabbing the limelight. It would be a real top favorite rose if it bloomed this way more often, but after the spring flush it puts out a dozen or so blooms here and there the rest of the season. Still, for show-stopping impact, it earns a good vote from me.
The other Lim rose that I've just added a second time is All the Rage. Normally I wouldn't be all that excited about a semi-double rose, but the blooms are HUGE and can be quite a vivid apricot to coral color. It's also rock solid hardy and blends in with the rest of my apricot bed in the front. This one so far has stayed below 4' and it isn't as broad a bushy plant, so it fits in around other roses.
Another bush in the cold front apricot bed (for contrast) is Snowdrift, and it's definitely coming into its own even in the second year for 2016. It has nice clusters of white flowers pretty much all season. You can see the spent blooms doing the dead Kleenex look of virtually all white roses, but I don't consider that the rose's fault. The blooms are fluffy without showing the stamens too much - I prefer petals to stamens except in unusual cases like Dainty Bess.
Another good white Lim is Champagne Wishes. It tends to be more pure white where Snowdrift has an apricot blush sometimes to the centers (ironic, since you'd expect snow to the the purer white). It isn't quite as prolific a bloomer as Snowdrift, but Champagne Wishes is only in its second year so it'll beef up after a while.
For a totally different look, Fiesta is quite a nice pink/white striped rose. The bush I initially bought had all kinds of dead wood on it and I rather took pity on it rather than being excited at first. It has grown out of its twiggy phase and puts out clusters of striped blooms pretty regularly all summer. It isn't quite the prolific bloomer that Stars and Stripes Forever is (and they're next to each other), but they compliment each other nicely. It stays much lower than SSF, maybe no more than 4', with nice bushing out. Here's a June shot with buds just ready to burst out.
Pinktopia is one that has worked its way into the top 10 Lim roses in its second year. It's one of the more mannerly and compact Lim roses, staying under 4' and rounded as a bush. The blooms are semidouble and an average medium pink, but they're pretty frequent and troublefree. You can see the modest height here with the nasturtium leaves kicking in - the variegated bloom at top right is Hannah Gordon. This one also thrives in my zone 4 pocket.
Kashmir is nice but it only just makes my top half of Lim roses. I like the double blooms and it's trouble free as all of them are, but it has more or less prime real estate and it still isn't all that frequent a bloomer even in its third year. I like the color and it can get a nice dark red, fading to crimson, and the double blooms are nice.
OK - second half to follow...
