| Krista, your pictures are delightful and you seem to love the same colors in roses that I do. I had Stanwell Perpetual in a previous garden and yours makes me wish I had another now. Ingrid |

| Enjoyed your pics, Krista. You need to join our thriving "Alphabetical Rose Parade" over on the Rose Gallery. Kate |

| It's grey and wet here, Krista. Thanks for your summertime reminders of roses and your pictures . I think I like the La Reine picture the best; love those cabbage-y roses. I hope you do add some to the Rose Gallery ABC's too. Your RdV is beautiful! |

| Hi Krista: I love all your pics, esp. Reine Victoria. Do you know of any tall, slender, and thorny rose? I'm looking for one to put in front of my tall High Efficiency Air Conditioner. Something that remains hardy, tall and thorny in zone 5a. That way thieves can't reach up to pull out the copper. Thank you. |
|
| Thank you, Krista! They're lovely! I've been browsing my pics too trying to chase away the winter blues. |

| Reine Victoria was one of my first antique roses and has remained a favorite. La Reine is one of my very best and the size of the plant is not intimidating for newcomers to antique roses. This rose is the easiest to sell at my yearly plant sale because of its shape, color and rich fragrance. I like your choices very much. Spring bulbs are always cheerful. |

| Thank you, to all. I'll have to visit the rose Gallery and see the Alphabet posts. Strawberryhill, Gertrude Jekyll is very thorny, and grows tall, although not a climber here. I would wonder, though, about plant debris falling into the air conditioner.... |

| Strawberryhill, I'm thinking Falstaff for tall slender and THORNY. He's been vigorous and very sturdy in my garden. Krista, thanks so much for the photos, spring can't get here soon enough. You give me such wonderful northeast gardening inspiration. Di |
