| A couple of my reds are blooming today. It was a little overcast earlier this afternoon and I was able to capture the red a little better than usual on Let Freedom Ring. Seems like it is going to be vigorous, but WOW it has a lot of thorns! |

| Wow those are some nice reds Sara Ann! |

| Those are both beautiful, Sara! And what at great comparison of the two. It really shows off the differences in color and form well. |

| Sara, beautiful roses! Let Freedom Ring is one of my favorites, but your picture of Firefighter could make me reconsider. |

| Yeah baby! Firefighter all the way! Love this rose - great fragrance, lots of blooms, no disease with minimal spraying. Got mine from Angel Gardens in Florida. |

| So glad I got Firefighter!! So far, it's tiny with only one bloom. But wait till next year!! Thanks for the look!!! Carol |

| Thanks everyone. I like them both, and despite what I previously thought, LFR does have a nice light fragrance. Grandmothers, I am glad to know that your Firefighter has lots of blooms, lots of fragrant red blooms, sounds wonderful. Seil - I agree, the pictures are a good way to compare the difference between the two. Kentucky_rose, it is hard to decide on a favorite for me. Carol - Last year my Firefighter did very little, but this year is much better, hopefully next year it will be great! |

| Carol, Where did you get Firefighter in Canada? Steve |
|
| Another bloom of Let Freedom Ring. |
