This is precisely the difference in our taste in roses--at least at
this point in my life. I LOVE to be knocked over by vivid, lucious,
big and beautiful blooms! Preferably in oranges, purples, and reds! I
like it when they take my breath away!

You mean like this one?

Or maybe you want to see them at the same time on the same plant:

And finally, here's another interestingly ugly/beautiful ruffle on the
plant next door:

Correction - the last one is on the same plant...
