Betty Boop


Bouquet Parfait


Caramel Antike


Carefree Celebration


Cherry Parfait


Cinco de Mayo


Gemini


Gertrude Jekyll


Golden Celebration


Golden Unicorn


Lavender Lassie


Midas Touch


Miniature (unknown) gifted to me last year


Mother of Pearl


Queen Elizabeth


Sentimental


Sexy Sexy


Tuscan Sunset

My Betty Boop will be open for the first time tomorrow. I'm excited!!

All of your roses are looking great!!

Wow, Mike! What a great beginning - and terrific photos too as usual. That is the best picture I think I've ever seen of Cinco de Mayo.

And we just deadheaded Golden Celebration a couple of weeks ago! What a difference location makes.

Some of our roses are ramping up for a second flush of bloom now.

Looking great, Mike. One and all. I love the "bouquet" habit of some of these.

Wow, Mike, what a gorgeous collection of blooms! Love the color on that Carefree Celebration!

Wow, Mike!!! I was gobsmacked when I saw your Betty Boop!!!! Unbelievably gorgeous!!! That picture should be framed, entered into a contest or put in a magazine!!!

I also love your Cinco de Mayo, Gemini and Carefree Celebration!

Wowza!

I got a Cinco de Mayo last year, so I'm just seeing it for the first time this year. It's a splendid rose.

I love that Tuscan Sunset.
And the "unknown" lavender colored one looks like Angel Face to me, but you said it's a miniature, so I reckon not.
