| I am encouraged by my Francis Meilland. It is putting on some new growth and had two blooms this time, looks like it might be putting on a third, I'm excited, it is a beautiful rose. |

| And Veterans Honor - I really like the looks of this rose, but mine seem to be weak stemmed, hope that improves as it becomes more established. |

| Judy - Thank you, I love Francis too, it is one of those nearly perfect roses. and fragrant too! |
|
| Francis Meilland is a must for next year. Veterans Honor - show stopper! Loving Love Song - is it always such a delicate shade? Sylvia |

| Love them all - but I agree that Francis is superb!!! Love Veteran's Honor too. Thanks! :) Carol |
|
| Frances--wow! A beauty. Hope your vibrant Veteran's Honor firms up by next year. I have a couple that are less vigorous than I'd like also. Kate |
|
| Thank you ladies. Sylvia, the color of Love Song is lovely every time it blooms, it's a very nice rose. FM seems to be a winner, but may take a little patience and hopefully the vigor of my VH will improve. |
|
| Is anyone growing Francis Meilland without fungicide in the East, South, or Midwest? |
|
| Francis is so beautiful! Love song and veterans honor are both beautiful too but Francis is breathtaking! |
|
| They're all beautiful! I don't have Francis, might need to remedy that! |
|
| Their all looking good Sara Ann! I seen your garden of roses in the picture gallery Fantastic! |
|
| Thank you everyone - I think Francis Meilland wins the day. It truly is a beautiful hybrid tea with that classic look and a wonderful fragrance, and seems to be disease resistant, you can't do better than that. For me it has taken a little patience, but it has been worth it. I think Andrea from Michigan had a bush shot of it last year, that might actually be a better climate for it. Hers was beautiful. |
