Yes, it's the one good bloom I've gotten from 2 K&M plants. What a disappointment that one is.
I need to change that picture to something that deserves endorsement!
Sherry, I also plant in drifts of one, collector-style. If I have two of anything, it is because I thought the original was dead and replaced it before digging out the first. Easy Does It is the exception. I have multiples of it, and I'm thinking about ordering it from Palatine just to see how it grows on multiflora roots, and from Chamblee to see how it grows own-root.
oh, wait a minute. I do have a hedge of double pink Knock Out, another bank of Pink Drift, and a large bed bordered by 9 Coral Drift roses. And a hillside covered with Sea Foam. My "drifts" are like, here's 20 different Austins, then this area is 20 different Kordes, or Bucks, that sort. One bed is all red and white roses, each different.
Bolero is not available around here for some reason. I saw it many places in California and it was stunning. Easter Basket, Colette, and Mother of Pearl were others I saw in CA that I can't seem to find anywhere else.
You are so lucky to have rose nurseries within driving distance.
On your choices, I think Ebb Tibe, Easy Does It, and Tahitian Sunset would be a pretty blend of colors.
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
