Just got my own J&P catalog and I'm pleased that they are offering

As for Disneyland, it strikes me as so ugly and vulgar in color that I
simply
HAVE to have one. I'm planning a little "Garden of Horrors" section of my
rose garden -- the old standby Tropicana, with its insincere
orange-sherbet
color (at least down here in North Florida) will be the centerpiece.
Peace,
in my book, belongs there, and I'm nursing my $4 bush of that to full
health.
I'm seriously considering buying a Barbra Streisand for this as well.
Yes,
I'm dead serious. Your tastes may vary, and of course I may find that
faced
with the actual blossoms of a real live Disneyland, it's not that bad: I
may
have to keep it in a pot until it blooms and shows its true colors.

That, of course, is probably why I love it...because everyone else would
find it vulgar! Actually, though, here in Seattle I expect the colors to be
a bit more muted. But then again, I love Orange and peach colored roses
anyway. All of my favorites are nice and vulgar and orange. :Þ
