I'm wanting to plant a few around the perimeter of my yard, but know just about exactly nothing
about the current varities. So I'm looking for a site with good prices AND good photos/descriptions
of the various types. (All I'm settled on so far is that I want at least one "Joseph's Coat".

Go to the GardenWeb site and read the rose forums - especially the antique rose
forum. Lots of information and personal experience available for the reading.
In particular, consider the antique roses and own roots available through
mailorder. (Vintage, Heirloom Roses etc.) Stay away from those boxed roses at
WallyWorld and Home Depot.

Thanks for the tip, but I've already ordered from a site called www.veseys.com based out of Canada.
After sorting through all of the types they had available, I ordered (for late March shipping,
according to the site):

Iceberg
Peace
Pascali
Joseph's Coat
Easy Going
Reine des Violettes
Mr. Lincoln
Tiffany
Gemini
Scentimental
Leonidas
Double Delight

Hi Darren,

You might check the site below. It lists most the rose suppliers with
online ordering and gives them a rating.

You do know that Joseph's Coat is a climber, yes?

Yeah, that one is going against the side of my house (east facing).

Check out www.chambleeroses.com, they have a great online catalog and
reference chart. Their roses are "own root" (not grafted) which I
prefer. The prices are the best I've found and their service is
great.
