| This is one is my favorite. It wasn’t from the start, it had to grow on me. However, if you are new to hybrid teas and want to start, look no further. This is an excellent starter rose. It’s well established, disease resistant, and easy to grow. |

| This one’s for Maggie because I know she would have loved it. Here recently, Mr. Kennedy has exploded with blooms. Ranks among one of my favorites. It’s grown over 7 feet in one year. I real hearty rose. I’m still trimming Mr. Kennedy back, even here in November. |

| One of the studs in my stable. Very reliable. He almost died earlier this year for some strange reason, but after some TLC, he’s coming back around. These are the most recent pics. I’m keeping my eye on him. |

| My newest in the collection. We purchased two of these plants late in the spring. This is the most fragrant rose I’ve ever smelt. You would swear that I put perfume on these buds before putting them in a vase. Truly an amazing rose. |

| Late in the spring, this rose completely turned brown and came very close to dying. I had planned to replace it with the Oklahoma but it miraculously came back. I can’t believe it! This thing is bloom crazy now. Big yellow monsters. |

| If I could pick one rose to win a blooming championship, this would be the one. She blooms every other week it seems. The plant is only 3 feet tall and I’ve counted 18 blooms on it before. Beautiful buds. |

| Chicky’s favorite. I’m so impressed with the colors of this beauty. Looks edible. The pictures you see here are from the first set of blooms she produced. However, these are the last ones that looked this color. The rest have been mostly red with some sketches of white in them here and there. I haven’t had blooms that look like this all summer long. |

| I see a lot of these around the neighborhood in people’s front yards. They’re huge. I have mine in a planter beacuse I don’t want it to get too big. Produces well. A very easy rose to grow. |
