Zuzu, thank you so much for sharing! I am familiar only with 2 roses from your list… Keep digging and extend my horizons.

I won't call these my favorite 10; instead, I'll call them 10 of my favorites:

America (climber)


Betty Boop (floribunda)


Blush Veranda (shrub)


Ch-Ching (grandiflora)


Cherry Parfait (floribunda)


Chrysler Imperial (hybrid tea)


Maurice Utrillo (hybrid tea)


Mother of Pearl (grandiflora)


Oranges 'n Lemons (floribunda/shrub)


Peace

Mike, thank you for the list and great pictures! We are almost in the same zone and I am familiar with majority of your roses.
Looking in your and Zulu lists, was trying to catch the criteria of your choices.
Looks like my criteria is very straight forward so far: big dense flower , keep longer than week or fast reblooming.

Aha, it's too difficult to pick only 10. Basically I love them all! These are my top 16 best performers this year (not in specific order). I prefer healthy and vigorous roses. I'm so impressed that only three varieties(*) are in full sun and the others are in part shade.
Lady of Shalott
Mutabilis*
Cream Veranda
Rosarium Uetersen
Lady Hillingdon
Garden Delight
Birthday Girl
Lynnie
Ispahan
Perle d'Or
Molineux
Eifelzauber
Le Petit Prince*
Doctor Robert Korns
Hansa*
Dee-Lish

Aerith, thank you for your list! I have two roses from it I had doubt to buy or not to buy:
Rosarium Uetersen and Garden Delight. Looks like I need them!
PS. If I am not mislook, there is no any repeating roses in our lists! wow!

Lynnez, OMG ! Your roses are amazing! Pictures are better than in most of catalogs. I have started from DA roses and failed because of different reasons. You garden gave me a thought about another attempt. Thank you so much !! Eden rose you have is so harmonious! I also have planted last spring, hope for the best.

Thank you, Enela!

Most of the pictures were from spring. Summer is super hot and all blooms are burned. Hope I can have some nice fall round

Elena,
So glad you'd like to add Rosarum Uetersen to your garden. It is awesome but needs some time to develop the roots. Mine is ownroot. During the first two years it only shot thin canes and not bloomed much, yet in the third year, it grew like crazy and reached 7'. The spring flush was gorgeous and it repeated well in late summer and fall, not as many blooms as in spring, though. Very healthy and vigorous.

The lighter pink on the lower left is Aloha.

Aerith, thank you so much for posting your amazing rose and confirmed my choice! To be truthful, reading the forum and this particular topic, I have now a big mess in my head what I need to buy this season. I might want to open a new one to ask an advice.

I love the photo bomb by Aloha!

I would like to thank everyone for sharing your top roses! I am a beginner and have about 30 roses so far in my garden.
Here is my final list for next the season from Regan and Palatine.

Crazy Love took foooooooorever to bloom, but lovely bush and amazing blooms. Well worth the wait and once it started blooming, hasn't stopped. Cherry Parfait is a trooper even in part shade. Both are ownroot High Country Roses Eden was a HD special, and blooms well even with Rose Mosaic Virus.

Annie, thank you so much for the input! You have touched another question I had to ask knowledgeable people. What roses you prefer own roots or grafted?

I prefer grafted.

I like own root and am working on a list of favorites.

Elena, What I learned from the folks on this forum is that with Cherry Parfait, you need partial shade to bring out the nice combination of red and white.

Laurie, thank you so much for mentioning this for Cherry Parfait! This rose was not suspicious Will take it into the account!
I am worried about Love Song and Poseidon… I grow Quicksilver and have some problem with excessive heat.
