Great looking roses Jordan love all the purples.With the warmer weather coming in Jordan now how often you a giving your pots water mate ?.

All wonderful, as per usual, Dan; so many of them I don’t know which one I should focus on. Ebb Tide continues to stand out, but also the many beautiful OGRs and Austins. Which rose in this series stands out for you most, and why?

hi jac,
love all the one i posted .. but i gotta say the two the most stand out for me are .. old port and i love comte de chambord both are very healthy and they carry their beautiful scent well

The Old Port photos I see on HMF have a similar colour to what Big Purple looks like in the QLD sun; yes it’s a Big Pink here. OP is said to be not a strong grower in Zone 9-10 and not a tall bush to begin with, but wow, what huge blooms and nice colour. It probably would be swallowed up by my wild cottage garden, where I have to keep an eye even on some of my taller shrubs.
Comte de Chambord is recommended for cooler climates, but excellent ratings and comments all around; I might have to look at that one again; nice one …

I really like what I’ve been reading about Barbara Streisand in ‘A Rose by Any Name’; how do you find her fragrance?

hi jac,

barbara streisand has a sweet fragrance .. very strong . you would like it jac .. healthy and nice foliage

Apparently, usually when a celebrity lends her or his name to a rose, they show up at the grower to select one they like, which is followed by a photo session and the signing of some contracts, all pretty much in the same afternoon. Not so with BS: when she showed up, she selected not one, but three roses and then insisted on trialing them in her own extensive rose garden for a total of two years; that just figures. The other two she had initially included were Moonstone and Rosie O’Donnell, but BS clearly was her winner.

Again, more beautiful roses Jordan. The purples stand out for me especially. Are these first blooms of new roses Jordan? If so, I hope my first blooms are just as good. Of course I only have a few compared to your excellent vast collection. I am looking forward to seeing my first blooms from Ebb Tide (10 buds from such a small bush), Barbra S and Charles de G.
