I agree. Sue should do them all. Most of the nurseries have unattractive or deceptive photos of some of their roses. Sometimes I fall in love with a rose at a nursery and can't believe it's the same blah-looking rose I saw in a catalog. And then there's Heirloom, which does the exact opposite -- doctors them up to look so fabulous that you can't fail to be disappointed when they bloom in your garden. The first time I received an Heirloom catalog in the mail, I wanted every rose, but then I realized I already had most of them and they bore very little resemblance to those flashy photoshopped pictures.
