No roses here yet. :( Still waiting. Not even my peonies have bloomed yet. Sigh.

Your roses are stunning!!!! Oh wow!!
I just love MIP, Paul Neyron and Love Song. Such full old fashioned blooms. Love, love, love them!!
Joseph's Coat really does have a lot of colors. So pretty!!
Thanks!

I have kind of the same thing with a store bought "tornement of roses" rose.and I doubt it had rrd or caught one with the other ones untouched.the new leaves look strange,but then I saw some other roses with the same kind of growth.the flowers look fine.i would also wait and see.from what I read,the thing with rrd is that it doesn't change color fro red to green.while yours look green-ish
Karolina, I want to let you know that a few of my roses have been doing the exact same thing this year--I think it's the extreme dry heat we've been getting all spring. When spring started, the roses threw out nice long canes to try to bloom, I took off most buds, after that, they began to grow these short candelabra canes with flower buds on top. I'm pretty sure it's not a disease, I think probably just less than ideal growing condition/environment, I'm hoping we will get a cool and wet fall/winter so the roses can get a break from being constantly pushed to grow and bloom, poor things. Anyways if you go to the webpage I'm attaching here, you can see the leaves on that obviously very healthy rose's candelabra canes are different from the big leaves, I don't think it's anything to worry about. Same with the masses of thorns.
Deer damage can also cause candelabra growth, it happened to my Martina Mondadori.

There are a lot of roses that change color with the temperatures and amount of sunlight. Some of them can do so dramatically like Double Delight. Those are called "phototropic". Here are 4 photos of the same bloom on my Double Delight taken over one 24 hr period.
And yet another look for Double Delight
(excuse the greetings, lol!)
As you can see it has many faces.
A lot of people will tell you that their fall roses seem more vibrant in color because of the cooler temps. Many others will tell you how their roses can be pale images of their normal selves in the high heat of summer. There are MANY roses that will do this to some degree or another. It's perfectly normal and, for me anyway, is part of their charm!
Thanks Seil for posting those beautiful pictures. I wish I knew what rose mine is & that I had a camera to send pictures with. Unfortunately, the people who have iphones that could take some pictures I rarely see. Sigh..... Anyway, these particular roses always open with a myriad of colors, Yellow, medium orange & rimmed with a deep orange. As they open more, the get lighter, but never went from all yellow to all cantaloupe. Pretty though.
Thank you all!
Yes, buford, that's exactly what mine did during the spring. It seems to be growing out of it now that the weather is settling down though.
I like to do the stages because you get a better idea what to expect from a rose. None of them just appear at perfect exhibition form and then stay there, lol!
Most roses LOVE to grow and bloom! The length of time it takes for them to recycle depends on the variety. Shrubs, polyanthas and floribundas are probably the quickest repeaters but most won't have the exhibition form. Miniatures and Minifloras will repeat quicker than Hybrid Teas or Grandifloras as a rule. As a general rule of thumb an HT will take 6 to 8 weeks to rebloom.
'Aloha' is my best climber in part shade (of course in my zone it doesn't climb; it dies back to 1' in the winter and only gets to 3' tall by fall).
It doesn't need much care, and the blooms have a really nice form and smell nice and last a long time.
Aloha is pink; there's also an Apricot sport called 'Dixieland Linda' that I really want.
Thanks for sharing your roses! I grew Sunsprite many years ago, the color was always so bright and cheerful. You gotta love the floriferous floribundas!
My mother-in-law, now deceased, used to have several older Peace bushes in front of her house. She would tell me that they were the most beautiful rose. I mentally poo-pooed her thinking, never having seen them, in favor of the newer varies pouring out from J & P and other rose breeders in the 1970s. I went to visit her one time when her roses happened to be in bloom. Her Peace roses were magnificent! The color, size, and form were just perfect. Then I knew why Peace was loved by so many. I always meant to put one in my garden, but alas, still haven't...
How much summer rain do you receive (in an average year, if there is such a thing...)? My roses have not had a single basal break this year and I'm definitely concerned but we don't get much summer rain and if I put down alfalfa now, the basals won't come until Sept/Oct which is kinda late to harden off before winter. I'm just going to water, water, water.
Cecily's comment is really important for those of us with real cane-killing winters.
I've looked at pictures of my roses in 2013 and I've seen them this year, and the intervening winter did a real job on them. This year, grow/regrow the roots. Next year, the roots will grow the canes.
