Here is the other roses I have that are now blooming. The rain did a number on them. Some are looking bad way too soon. grumbling: The top pink is Queen Elizabeth, the yellow I do not know but it is awesome, blooms from spring to frost. The red is the Mr Lincoln that reverted because of freeze back. The lavender is a vintage rose that has been around here all my life. Also the pink in the bottom corner. The rains messed it up. It usually looks great for two weeks. It has been passed around in this area for seventy five years to my personal knowledge. I still have a cascade red that is not blooming yet. Queen Elizabeth is my favorite because she is beautiful and is easy to root. I have four of these and plan to do more. I am reserving judgement on the five from last year until I see if I can root them. That is a big deal with me. I always try to root any plant I get. I am always surprised how many just take off. It is such fun. shirleyt
