| Crocus Rose really will be huge. Watch out! |
|
| I know you get some of your roses from A.R.E. Where do you get the others? Yea, like I need more roses to plant. Have three that still need to get into the ground. |

| Thanks for the compliments everyone! The roses sure loved the rain we've been receiving. I can't wait for the other rose bushes to bloom... Wilo, most of my Austins were purchased from Dirt & Roses, a local nursery in Pflugerville, who I believe purchase their roses from Chamberlee Rose Nursery in Tyler. When Dirt & Roses does not have a rose that I really, really want, I then shop at the US David Austin website. All of my OGR are from the Antique Rose Emporium, which I simply LOVE! A.R.E. is like a big candy store for us roseaholics! |

| Oh how I love the Austins! I only wish I had room for more. I expect all are gonna be huge in TX if they're anything like they grow in MS. I bet you garden smells like heaven. |
|
| I like how you describe GC; 'sunshine in a bloom'... The photo of Queen of Sweden in dappled shade - so lovely. I'll be interested to see how your Huntington rose progresses. Great color! |

| Vuwu, thanks for posting the gorgeous pics! I love Golden Celebration and have two of them. It is such a fantastic rose. But I love all your roses very much. In the words of Oliver, "More Please". Juliet |

| Thanks for these pictures. I was curious about the Darcey Bussell as to what it looked like. I, too, say watch out for Crocus Rose. It gets quite large. It is also a very sturdy variety. At first I thought that I might get rid of it, but after its third year, it really got going and began blooming very regularly with lots of flowers. Now I would hate to part with it. |
