Please forgive the poor quality. At least the scans do show the true
colors. The third, smaller bud in one of the scans is actually
mutabilis. Surprising how similar the colors are.

Oooo, very pretty. I don't think we can get that one yet ...

I'll keep an eye out for it in the catalogue's though.

Distant Drums is in the middle of an amazing fall flush here. It is
wonderful in the vase - the scent is on the air for at least 10 feet on
a hot day.

Gorgeous, Cass. How old is your plant?

Glad you like it! I have a friend who thinks the tan centers make the
bloom look "old." Harumph, I said!

Very nice vase of flowers. What are the other roses in the vase besides
Distant Drums?

Stunning picture. Nice grass back-drop that enhances the whole stunning
effect. I am not hungry or anything, but that looks edible. who are the
other fellows? Is that Francis Dubreuil on the side? Is the one in the
front Portland from Glendora? I am probably getting it all wrong, but
that is one sumptuous visual treat.

Thanks!

At 12 o'clock is DD, then that big pale pink and blush bloom is Dr.
Debat, a classic HT, Peace offspring. Then more DD with a Niles Cochet
between them. Down at 6 oclock is Yolande d'Aragon. Next is Mme.
Berkeley (tea). The bright pink is Eden (1950 HT). Finally at 10:30 is
Souv. de Leonie Viennot. Whew. Oh, that inconspicuous pink bud pointed
straight at the camera is Susan Louise (tea).

It really was a beaut, Radika. I found the grass by mistake trying to
prop up the vase. On the lower left side, the bright pink is Eden (1950
HT). I ran down the whole list in response to Kirra's question.

Right now I'm enjoying a big fluffy overblown base of roses with dozens
of petals each - Eden, Belinda's Dream, Dr. Debat, and Thor. Yum.
