Last year I toured the Biltmore gardens and was halfway frustrated because the names aren't posted on the trial roses. It does make for a fair trial, though. Now I know the names, and I'm super happy to see that some of my favorites there are ones I grow here!
Savannah is a truly superior rose in Kansas and in North Carolina! I saw it in Texas at Chamblee nursery and it was a standout there too.
Glad to see Ping Lim won an award.
I'll have to look for that climber "Flying Kiss", and "Phloxy Baby".

I have Phloxy Baby which I bought despite its unappealing name. It is, so far, an interesting little rose.

I have Savannah.

Savannah is recommended in the book entitled: "Roses Without Chemicals" by Peter Kukielski.
