| Until recently I had never grown the softer pink shades of roses and I love their delicate look. Here are some samples I have. Do you have any colors you are especially enjoying? First one is Royal Highness |

| And even Tiffany is on the softer side sometimes. |
|
| those are all gorgeous, Sara! I love that Meredith! |
|
| I don't have many soft pinks, but a couple are beauties. I'd also include Mystic Beauty, but it is a near-clone of Souvenir de la Malmaison, so you have that one covered. Pretty Jessica--This Austin's buds are always fat and fully packed! Kate |
|
| Thank you Seil - Meredith is a fairly good rose for me and it has a nice fragrance too. It's a Carruth rose, but apparently not as well known as some of his. Thank you Kate - Those are all gorgeous, love your Pretty Jessica and every time I see Queen of Sweden, I know it's one I just have to have, it's so beautiful! Looks lovely with the clematis. |

| Oh, Sara-Ann, these roses are so sweet..soft and lovely. Your roses are so healthy….I love to see your pictures. This is a hard time to have roses in our zone. So hot and dry. I have considered Meredith..might have to order her. Lesley |
|
| Lesley - Thank you so much. Right now most of my roses aren't doing that great either, the heat really diminishes the size of most of them. I've been missing seeing your roses this year, you have some lovely ones. It dawned on me that at times Belinda's Dream is a very soft pink. |

| Wow!!! I love pinks!!! Those are so soft looking. :) Here are some of my pinks I WAS enjoying. Notice the past tense - we had about 2 inches of hail in our yard. The winds blew my neighbor's table off their raised deck and smashed the table apart. I am not a happy camper - roses are a disaster. Anyway - enough of a rant. |
|
| thanks, prettypetals .. i have a few rose bushes but nothing as spectacular as these .. absolutely beautiful!!! |
|
| Prettypetals - You have some lovely roses there, they all look wonderful! Carol - Your Memorial Day looks lovely. So sorry the hail storm has damaged your roses, mother nature doesn't play fair, does she? Prettypetals - You are so fortunate to be near several good nurseries. Nearly all of my roses are mail order, I do enjoy the search and fortunately there are several great sources. |

| Hey Sara Ann! The majority of mine have come from mail order but the last few yrs our local, and to me local is anything within an hour drive, lol, has carried lots of the varieties I love. I am fortunate for that for sure. Canadian rose your Memorial Day is beautiful. Take care, Judy |

|
| Boncrow - Those are lovely. The list of light pink roses I would love to try is endless. |

| I agree - Sweet Surrender looks fantastic!! Any fragrance? Carol |
|
| Harryshoe - Your Sweet Surrender is so pretty! I plan to get it again. Carol - It is a very fragrant rose. I've had lighter pinks through the years, here and there, but never had very many at once, I love them! |

| Those are gorgeous Pat!! I found a body bag for $3 at Dollar General of Marchessa and couldn't resist. Almost died on me and has only bloomed once so still haven't decided if it's her. Budded up though so I will know hopefully in a week or two. Judy |
