I think Scentimental sucks. It gets BIG ! Mine is 5 ft. wide by 5-6 ft tall.
The roses last about 2 days cut. Zone 9. I could put in 2 HT's in for the
size the scentimental get's

Why? If you mentioned this one before, I missed it.

It stands straight up to it's full 10 inch height, not a graceful plant
at all, gets blackspot, doesn't rebloom fast , nothing special about
the bloom color or size. Waste of space. I don't get minis, tho I like
the climbers. I think I need to get Jean Kenneally, tho.

*Outta the Blue
*Distant Drums
*Flutterbye

Want to tell me more about this one? It isn't a single like Mutabilis,
is
it?

It's a single but not like Mutablilis, which is unusual in my mind
because it throws flowers out one at a time. Have you ever seen a spray
on Mutabilis? Anyway, Flutterbye is mostly yellow, tho is has some
peachy tones. And I know nothing else because it is so young. It grows
large enough in SoCal to be grown as a climber. I will grow it as a
shrub.

!Scentimental

Cass, I love this rose. Love, love, love it. Yes it blows fast. That is
why I have three. Good smelling, so beautiful, every bloom is
different--
and the red is cherry-to-burgundy, not orangey at all.

Yeah, I know I want it. When I find it, I will put it on my patio.
Nothing could blow faster than Eugene de Beauharnais, and I put up with
it for color and scent.

!Berries n Cream

I want this.

I'd heard it was weak grower, but I've got the striper bug (I wrote
stripper bug the first time).

!Purple Heart

On next year's list.

Bob Bauer says it's better than Angel Face. Damning by faint praise.
Can't wait to execute Angel Face, but it won't die.

!Autumn Sunset

Want this.

I'd a thought Westerland would be your preference. I moved my two 6 x 8
plants this winter, BR'd them. They're leafing out now. That's a huge
rose here, not exactly a climber, more like a floribunda on steroids. I
can't get the canes to bend, so the flowers end up high.
