Gorgeous pics Sue. Now I feel like pulling out some of my hybrid teas and replace them with David Austin roses.
I got 4 HT on the same bed with those DA's roses. I was thinking of making them all DA at least just on that bed.

Well I took close-up photos again early this AM without the sun hoping to capture the true color of the roses.

Here is what I thought is Sweet Juliet but Steve and Zuzu's suggestion is Sharifa Asma. Regardless, it's a real beauty.
From the distance I'm seeing peach-like colors, but closer it's more like light pink.

And I think this is Graham Thomas. Buds are just starting to open.

Planning to add Pat Austin and William Shakespeare in the near future.

Sharifa Asma has a strong myrrh fragrance, like old fashioned cold cream. At least I think that's what myrrh smells like.

My suggestion actually was Heritage, although I agreed that Sharifa was a possibility.

I'm glad we could at least get the process started. It looks like they are all doing well there. And I think it's great that you plan to expand the collection.

As per Zuzu's suggestion on rose bush #1, I am convinced it is indeed Heritage. The stems are thornless except for the underside of the leaves.
