Jordan, Your Pics are lovely, I have OLD BLUSH & ROSERAIE DE L'HAY, and have always thought of planting ZEPHRINE DROUHIN, it is such a Classic. I will never have enough space in my garden to plant everything I would like, so I will have to find a neighbours garden to plant up I think, and around where I live that would not be hard to find.
Keep taking these lovely Pics you are giving me food for thought...  

thank you

Here are a handful of new blooms at my place.

QUATRE SAISONS / AUTUMN DAMASK

Loads of buds on my bushes this year. (Partly due to all the tips/tricks from here...) Am hoping I'll have some to put in the local Ag show in 3 weeks time...

Just gorgeous Jordan and Autumn. I'm so jealous because I haven't got any open yet. Jordan I really like the foliage of Roserie, fresh looking and sort of textured. Nearly bought one last year.
Autumn I have Duet too, really like it, she's a tough ol gal, lots of buds so far.

Well done Wendy and Dan on your flowers, we only have buds on ours.

Beautiful assortment, everyone. Thank you! Rosarie has always been in my peripheral vision, but I never quite get to the Buy stage.

And ah! I see Mme Al, one of my absolute joys. Love all those noisettes to pieces, and she's my sentimental favourite. My first rose. Yes, and I thought, boy, what is all the moaning and groaning about? This rose-growing business is a snap!

Then I started on HTs, including the exquisite disease magnet Angel Face, and joined everyone else in the rosy Slough of Despond.

Wendy, Do put your Roses in the AG Show if you have them ready, just entering would be a Buzz, . Beautiful Pics.
The Old Fashioned are my favourites. I will have to see what I have out today and put some Pics on later.
Betsy, I have Angel Face and she is flowering wonderfully at the moment but it is my first year with her so I will be interested to see how she performs re disease, no rain as yet though. And I have heard she can be a problem child.
Enjoy your Week..  

Yes, I'll put them in if they're ready - have to support the local show! Our show is a little early in the season for roses so it can be a bit hit and miss in regards to numbers. Need to do "my bit".
I'm not a "rose show-er" like Neptune and Ausrose though. :)I'm not dedicated enough!!

It's kinda funny how roses behave differently - my Angel Face isn't too bad. My Bonica..? Complete defoliation every year. At least it still carries the flowers (ends up looking like a japonica )

Just a couple more of the first Roses for the Spring Season in my garden.
Fantin-Latour a Centifolia hybrid, St Swithun another of my David Austin's trained as a climber on the fence & Renae who seems to like climbing trees.

ENJOY SPRING ROSES......  

They look wonderful Dianne, very soft and romantic.

I know I really am terrible but I just can't go past the Soft, Old Fashioned, Romantic Style of Roses, I do try though. Too much reading Jane Austin & the Like as a child I think. But they do look lovely in the vase & the perfumes are just wonderful. Though my house smells of Sweet Peas today as I picked 2 big bunches yesterday.
Have a Lovely Day All.....  

Ooooh you lucky thing Dianne. Sweet peas.... oooh! Must grow some next year!! Just love your photos. You go right ahead and be romantic, soft and old fashioned!! It's great! Not enough of that these days. The guys will be groaning now!! LOLOL!!

If you were here I would fill your arms with Sweet Peas. I kind of overplanted. I am happy with my display as I have some very pretty Mauves and Purples in there. I buy straight colours some Old Fashioned, not mixed seeds as I like to know what colours I can use in the house as the more you pick them, the more they flower.
Take time to smell the Flowers (Roses)  

I apologize now for going off topic - just quickly! Can you, Dianne, PM me and tell me whose seeds you buy please. Thanks everyone - wont do it again!! 

Yes we promise - I buy my seeds from Diggers, Australian Seed Company & Roger Parsons Sweet Peas in UK [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] he has also written a book on Sweet Peas.  
Thank You Everyone...  

Yes, Thanks Everyone!  
And thankyou Dianne, will visit the site.

This our 'Cecile Brunner/Bloomfield Abundance starting to flower yesterday/today.

Surely one of the most charming roses in the landscape, dear Cecile.

It is Betsy, I just wish some one could definitely decide on the the true identity of each one, so many roses have "some" dubious background to them, I guess one day we might know.

Kim Rupert, normally found at gardenweb USA, is also a member here, yes? Mr Rubert seems a go-to guy for everything regarding roses, and that includes provenance and identification. He sorted out the tangle of confusion about Frances Dubreuil and Barcelona, as I recall.

Kim is a member here and friend which has sent all sorts of rose seeds to me. He is also a member of RHA Rose Hybridizers Association(forum)
