| One of my favorites also on any given day. Beautiful pictures. |

| That Edwardian pink/peach/yellow color always makes me weak in the knees. |

| Susan, How old is your Reve D'Or? I've never seen a Reve D'Or in bloom, much less bigger than 1 foot here in Texas. Is it a slow starter? Beautiful bloom!! Josh |
|
| Just beautiful, Susan! |

| We are very fortunate here in CA. The Sacramento Cemetery has an exceptional clone of Reve d'Or that wants to grow grow grow. My 2 year old plant is happily climbing a wall. The drought hasn't phased it too much. Pictures once it starts blooming. Diane |

| Susan, beautiful rose! Beautiful photos! I find noisettes to be even more romantic than teas and by now, everyone knows how much I adore tea roses. Reve d'Or is a favorite of mine. If you own a straw hat, you should pick a blossom of Reve, tuck it into the chintz band, don your favorite dress, recline on a wicker settee and sip sweet tea while reading EM Forster or Charlotte Bronte. Diane, I am looking forward to your photo. Your specimen sounds stunningly gorgeous! Carol |

| Susan, it's wonderful to see pictures of one of my favorite roses. I hope you'll take further pictures as it creates more blooms. Diane, I'd be interested to know how much sun your Reve d'Or gets on the wall. You probably also have a lot less heat, but mine on a wall died back more every year, to my everlasting regret. I love that rose but have practically no place for a climbing rose. |

| Thanks y'all! I just received two grafted on fort. As a fundraiser our rose society travels down to pick up 2G roses from K & M. In addition to Reve I bought 2 Celine, Madame Antoine Mari, Monsieur Tillier, Dubreuil/Barcelona (my second), Gold Medal and Blue Girl. That is why I have the blooms now. I have a trellis "wall" that is 30' X 15'. I have one MAC for the center and Reve d'Or flanking each end. On either side in between MAC and Reve I am growing a Duchess of Albany Clematis. Josh, ARE reports Reve d'Or as getting really large. And Carol, as a rose gardener you KNOW that there is no reclining in the garden (at least until August)! Although I have vowed this year to relax more and work less. I've been working like a demon for the last 2 weeks. I will send photos as she grows. Susan |
