OK, so on with the show. Here's the next installment of photos, including one of my all-time favorite roses, Royal Wedding. Those of you who have seen this photo before have heard me describe it as though it has a little night light on inside of it.

Here's another photo of Bouquet Parfait. I have two of them, side-by-side. They're gigantic hybrid musks, and produce thousands of these blooms all at once, in tight clusters just like you see here.

And here is Red Intuition - one of my all time favorites due to its unique stippled effect.

If Scentimental would bloom more often, I'd plant more of it. Of all the various red and white striped roses, it's my favorite.

Sheer Bliss is a very beautiful rose that makes for a good cut flower, so long as you don't breathe on it, touch it, raise your voice, or look at it cross-eyed. Otherwise it may shatter. At least mine do. But they're quite large, and I only noticed its nice fragrance after bringing it inside and putting it in a bud vase.

Sexy Rexy is a great floribunda that produces loads of blooms. I used to have it as a standard (tree rose), but it didn't like being overwintered and eventually declined, so I replaced it with two regular bushes.

Zephirine Drouhin is a nearly thornless climber that produces deep pink blossoms. Everyone says it does well in the shade, so I put it up against a semi-shaded wall, but I wouldn't call mine an overachiever.

Another Midas Touch. I'll say it again -- this rose really does draw your attention in the garden. It's a stand-out.

As a ground cover rose on my sloped rock garden, Red Ribbons is a blooming machine! It's nearly always in bloom all summer long.

The Prince is a wonderfully fragrant Austin that I have paired with The Squire, which resembles it. Some say The Prince has been outdone by some of Austin's more recent, similar cultivars, but I wouldn't be without it. The combination of its form, color, and intense fragrance is a treasure.
