Melva, those are beautiful. AD is on my list of wants! Here's Lyda Rose, which Sue sent to me:

Wow, all these pretty pictures of cultivars I never knew about! I thought all Austins looked the same, but now I see otherwise. Dapple Dawn, Wild Flower and Bow Bells look like delicate little teacups.

And Lyda Rose... the bloom looks like a rambler of days gone by.

I didn't have any idea Austin had cultivated ones that looked like those!

Lyda Rose is lovely but it is a Hybrid Musk, I used to have that one and I gave it away...

Bow Bells again unless I posted the same picture....

More Mistress Quickly.

Crown Princess Margarita

I have a longing feeling every time I see a photo of Crown Princess. She doesn't like warm weather, you see... she's royalty, so she likes to be pampered! =)

That's a beautiful photo, Louise.

Hi you guys. I'm kind of late on this thread but I thought I would "dip my toe in" to the DA pond.

This one is my favorite, Sharifa Asma.

Love the color on Pat Austin, but she has been slow to take off for me and she seems to shatter easily. Last year was her first for me. Maybe this year....

Lady Emma Hamilton.

Carding Mill.

Grace.

The Pilgrim.

Sophy's Rose. I was trying to show someone that this rose can blue just a bit, but not as bad as some.

I think this was my first bud on Teasing Georgia. I like big, honkin', thorny roses so this one fits the bill for me.

Snow Goose in a wilder part of the yard. She takes care of herself.

The Alnwick Rose.

Great photos, Terri. The detail in the Sophy's Rose petals is exquisite.

Terri, I know just what you mean about the blue to Sophy. My pic of her above shows it too. I absolutely love that Sharifa Asma. I need to order that one!

Zuzu, what was the new David Austin you had mentioned before that you were getting? I went to the David Austin site that day to purchase it, but then got sidetracked... and now my scatterbrain isn't helping me remember which one it was! Now I'll have two to order there. =)
