I really like White Pet. Maybe next year. :)

(not sure if this one was from Huntington or Descanso...)

Some of these photos of Symphony are from Huntington, but I'm just going to put them all here. Both plants were covered with blooms. This rose is really growing on me after seeing it a few times in different places... Maybe I'll get it next year. :)

Lavender Lassie who stole my heart and is in the mail to me. :)
SMELLS SO GOOD.

LOOK AT THAT! :D

Penelope which also stole my heart and smells like a dream and is in the mail to me.

Le Vesuve struck me as having a very pretty flower, but the foliage wasn't that great. I keep thinking that maybe teas don't like it around here or something. :\ I dunno. I see other's Le Vesuve online and think they are gorgeous,... but when I see them in person around here, not so much.

Love this one.

The knodding heads and blooms are charming. I have a small one of this at home... I think if it does well for me, I'll really have to put it on an arbor or a pergola to fully appreciate it. If you look hard, you can see it's crispy a little, but still very pretty.
After studying and restudying the old teas and old hybrid teas at Huntington and Descanso... I'm pretty sure that Maman Cochet and La France are my favorites... so... yay?

Sir Edward Elgar
I may have to get this rose next year... I really like it.

A good example of what I was talking about with the old teas looking crispy...

I really like the full flush of the wichurana ramblers... but they don't really have scent for me. But I enjoyed taking photos of these at Descanso.

I was surprised at Le Vesuve, of which I have four plants. All of them are clothed to the ground with healthy, rather dark green leaves, very different from the rather sickly ones your pictures show. I think this rose likes it warm and dry, although even in this cool and rather moist spring they look great, with not one sign of any disease. If only they could talk and tell us what they like. Le Vesuve also doesn't crisp for me in my really hot microclimate. I know it's a winner for Sherry too, who lives literally at the other end of the States. There were many beautiful roses here, thank you so much for taking the trouble to post so many. A real pleasure!

Beautiful, simply beautiful!

Just keep those batteries charged...and keep on clicking away. Leave no rose unphotographed!
