They did surprising well in spite of my inability to tend them this summer.http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y65/koalajanie/bugs021.jpg

Very nice! Mine all got fungus and black spot because of all the rain. I was working so much, I never got to spray them!:( Even with all that they still tried to bloom.

If you're wondering why I have so many different variety of roses, my DH buys them for me on our wedding anniversary which is in May and that's when plant nurseries and stores starts selling them. In my opinion, it's way better than getting long stemmed roses that only last for a few days.:)

Wow! Beautiful. I never think to pick ours. :confused: They just die on the bush. What a shame. :oops:

Those roses are beautiful and so many varieties.
We have a few but they don't look nearly as nice as yours.
We mainly have azaleas. We must have around 100 bushes now.

Thank you. :) The best way to get the roses to produce more blooms is to pinch the dead flowers off the stems.

Those are wonderful Janie, I especially like the Cherry Parfait! I adore roses, but know absolutely nothing about growing them. I wouldn't even know how to begin.

Absolutely gorgeous! I envy anyone with a green thumb. I have a brown thumb. My plants don't die...they just suffer a lot!

they are nice cause you aren't supposed to prune them but they can get giant sized due to that
