Romantica series Climbing rose. Heavily petaled blossoms are quintessentially old-fashioned and deliciously fragrant. Creamy white softly edged in pink.

David Austin considers this one of the most beautiful of his English' roses. Light pink, fully double saucers of blooms filled with smaller petals, and a wonderful old-rose scent are sure to enhance any garden. A smaller shrub of 3.5 x 3 feet, the name is after Eglantyne Jebb, who founded the Save the Children' charity fund.

This salmon to coral-pink charmer won the German Rose Society's ADR award - the country's highest honor. Highly and naturally resistant to blackspot and other diseases. Its compact, mounded habit is well-behaved, an excellent choice for small garden spaces. 2-3 inch blooms, 30 petals, light fragrance. 1 .5-foot height.

For some reason I envisioned an orange rose, but this is a shocking pink, but fragrant beauty of 35 to 40 petals. Excellent growth on an upright plant.

Ivory petals overlaid with a clear pink blush reflect the Pincess' warmth and radiance. Elegantly shaped buds open into graceful flowers of impeccable, high-centered form, generously perfumed with sweet fragrance. 3035 petals, 45 inch blooms. Tea-rose scent.

Beautiful, creamy large flowers of hybrid tea form. Ours are very large field-grown plants in 15-gallon containers.

Bright pink flowers edged dark pink, largish flowers on a slightly spreading plant give something a little different in a Hybrid Tea. Slight fragrance, up to 35 petals.

Hybrid Tea. A 2005 All-America Rose selection. Named in honor of the French magazine, the rose was hybridized in France by the House of Meilland. The moderately heavily petalled blossoms are blends of soft pink and cream. Intensely fragrant.

Among the best lavender floribundas ever! Each full, ruffled bloom sparkles with a twilighthued color play. The hypnotic citrus scent beautifully complements the large clusters of lavender blossoms to create a dazzling garden atmosphere. With excellent disease resistance and a compact, rounded habit, Enchanted Evening is a fantastic rose for mixed perennial beds, borders, and containers. 3-4'

This is one of my favorite roses. Beautiful champagne color in a perfect rosette, and set off by a green eye. Does not get tall, only to about 3 feet. Excellent rebloomer.

In the same vein as Memorial Day, this lemon yellow beauty with very large, 35-petalled roses of strong citrus fragrance are atop a tall, upright plant.

A blend of yellow, apricot and gold, with a somewhat old-fashioned flower form. Over 30 petals, light fragrance. As a Kordes rose, I'd expect disease resistance and overall hardiness to be quite good.

Floribunda. Vivid red clusters throughout the growing season. Makes an attractive landscape plant.
