Ah, Kirra. You tempt me.
Here's my "wish list" from Treloar...
Home and Garden (I love this little pink! Wonder if it's a good bloomer,
too. I have several Austin roses, and love the form...)
I quite like this one too. I want to get at least one OGR/Austin this year
and had been thinking of Heritage, Evelyn or Chaucor but maybe I should go
for this one instead/as well.
La Luna (looks almost like a more refined New Day..so big and pretty)
Marianna (looks like a blushing Brandy - one of my favorite HTs)
Michael Crawford (Victor Borge) VB is listed at Arena Roses, so there's
hope...
Mother's Love *so delicate -
New Ballet *love this pink. Wonder if it's got salmon tones in the garden?
Old Fragrance *Love this - could this be Perfume Delight under a different
name?
Perfume Delight is sold under it's name in Austalia so I guess this must be
a different rose. Perfume Delight is one of my grandmother's favourite roses
and my mother also has it.
Best Friend *gorgeous lavender. I love this one.
I really do like the deep purple/lavender flowers. This one is definitely
going on my list of wants.
Savoy Hotel *this pink reminds me somewhat of Cherish
Spicy *oooh the orange color!
Happy Anniversary *great orange - so deep!
I thought Spicy was a litte too orange but I do like the orange of Happy
Aniversary. Like you said so deep.
Burgundy Iceberg *wow
Already on my list
What can I say? The photos are so beautiful - how could we not want them!
I did use the "HelpMeFind listserver that someone suggested, and a couple
are available in the States, so that was some progress. But most are not!
What a shock to see such beautiful roses not available in the States! (I
must sound like a neophyte at this, and I am!)
Well, enjoy your bounty! Happy Growing!
Thank you for your suggestions. I'm not big on pink roses so there is a few
I did not comment on above, I'm not sure what it is. I currently only have 4
pink roses. Two are bright, vivid pink, one is a mini given to me as a
birthday present and the last I got reduced from $16 to $5. I wouldn't even
buy it at $8 because it was pink
However your suggestions have given me another at least 3 roses to put onto
my wish list, even though I was only planning on gettting 6 or 7 this year.
Happy Spring!
Kirra
