The plumbago(blue flowers) needed whacking so I added a few roses: Abraham Darby, Rosette Delizy and Mrs. Dudley Cross.

| thank you aimeekitty and Florence now that I look at the 4th photo closely I think maybe I got it wrong, not Deuil de Dr.D., probably Mrs. B. R. Cant (almost positive). Love her too but DdeDD has the more intense fragrance and deeper color. |

| Beautiful photos! I was especially interested in Napoleon, which isn't often photographed. It's a very lovely, airy rose. Ingrid |

| Thanks Ingrid. Napoleon underwhelmed me compared to other roses in the garden...until this winter/spring when it put on that show. Napoleon doesn't have the flashy color of Archduke Charles or the petal lushness of Mrs. B.R.Cant but it's a keeper. I'm sure I bought it because I saw someone's photo of it and it must've been GardenWeb 2-3 years ago. Denise |

| Oh! That is a great picture of Mrs. Dudley Cross! Mine is still immature so I'm crossing my fingers that she'll produce those gorgeous bicolors soon! Audrey |

| Denise, I just got Napoleon last November, and I think I'm going to like him. I like the solid pink in a China. Sadly, I took out Archduke Charles today. He was stark naked. I had heard he gets BS. Does yours? Beautiful bouquet! And great glamor shots! Sherry |
