I wish you could smell them! Mr. Lincoln (top, my Dad's favorite) is the most fragrant of the hybrids, and Mother of Pearl (bottom) is very delicate. In between them is JFK (white, Britt).
Roses from Jackson & Perkins are only shipped bare root in the spring, and so not all of the ones you told me about for last Christmas were available. Some have been backordered for next spring, but others need to be re-selected.
I am waiting for Wild Thing (Ed), April in Paris (Tom & Heather), and Peace (Grandma Hofmann). I just got Tropicana (orange, Grandma Munt) but it is not in the ground yet. I need choices from Bill, Dan (Tricia, I think you sent one, but I can't find the email), Lynn, and Julie.
Please recheck your selections and get them to me to add to the beds next spring.
I think Dad forgot to mention that I can only grow hybrid teas here--no climbers--so go to that section. If you have a different favorite grower, that's fine, just get me the details. I want to think of my "family of roses" whenever I sit on the patio.

Well did I find another place to fit? I was classed by my Texas father-in-law back in 1952 as "The Flower Of The Flock" i.e. {'The Blooming Idiot.'} His reason was because I married of my own free will into his family of 8 boys & 2 girls. So how do I get into the family rose garden?

We chose Belinda's Dream because it is pink (Courtney's favorite color) and invented by a math professor.
regannursery.com: Desert Peace. I like the two tone, and its name is very apropo. If you can't get that one, then my 2nd choice is classic woman.
I lied, Summer of Love is my #2, CW is a #3.
