Walked in my backyard to bump into this beautiful bloom of Scepter'd Isle with heavenly fragrance ❤️❤️❤️

An absolute classic rose formation…Fragrant Cloud seems to be pretty good on heat resistance…this beautiful bloom in the middle of a scorching multi-day heatwave in Connecticut (zone 6b/7a) pleasantly surprised me…and oh the beautiful fragrance ❤️❤️

A beautiful bloom of DA Claire Austin ❤️ …the fragrance isn’t strong, but her beauty is charming ❤️❤️

This one snuck out of the patio rails…the plant is in a pot…

She is in full swing blooming continuously ❤️❤️

I have grown a lot of red roses over the years, but Oklahoma has truly stolen my heart and took my breath away with this beautiful huge bloom…. and the fragrance oh my god ❤️❤️

David Austin James Galway (Auscrystal) has quickly won my heart…the growth is vigorous, the number of blooms in Spring flush is insane (15 in the picture)…while the fragrance is not very strong, the moderate old rose fragrance wafts in the morning sun, tickles your senses and makes you not wanting to move away from the blooms… ❤️❤️
