Default Some picture of my roses

Wow, Kirra, nice job!

Dream is somewhere between a mini and a patio rose and it kind of closer to

an orangey/apricoty colour with a yellow base. It also has a slight
fragrance which was refreshing since most of my minis do not.


Well now I must have it. I have been wanting to get into smaller
roses, and I always love some fragrance.


Minuette is available in the US from Regan Nursery and Vintage according to
HelpMeFind. You might not like it so much when you learn that it has no
fragrance. However I must say that the flower lasts a really long time. That
bloom was already over a week old when I took that photo and it was another
week or two until I finally snapped the bloom off when the petals started to
look a bit faded. It also held its form for most of that time as well
without going muddled in the centre.


I can appreciate roses that stand up well in the garden--finally.
Europeana is one that I love that has no scent, and I am ordering
7-10 of them for next spring.


Did you realise Friesia is our name for Sunsprite?


No, I didn't. I am afraid my Sunsprite was Vole Chow this year.
Talk about cruel, cruel summer. I hated losing that one.

So, as far as fragrance
goes, Friesia and Double Delight would have to be my most fragrant ones. I
also like the fragrance of Apricot Nectar,


Ahhh, I've wanted this one forever. It is a floribunda, right? Tell
me more, like how is the bloom form and how is the bush form? How
tall does it get, and would you consider it vigorous?



Eric the Red and Brisbane Blush.


Bet we don't have BB!

I still have quite a few roses that have bought that have not bloomed yet so
I am sure that this list will increase shortly.

We will eagerly await the photos. Thanks for sharing the once you have.
