This is Emily Brontë planted bare root in March if this year. Gave a decent flush in the spring but the new growth look like this? Other than the stunted leaves, I don’t see the classic dreaded disease characteristics: excessive thorns, cluster of deformed canes etc. I’m tempted to just pull it out as I have a small garden with tons of roses planted close but I want to hear what you guys think first. Pic 5 I bent the cane so you can see the underside.TIA

Maiden bloom on Jacqueline Dupré. I got a little band from High Country in March and here she is. I’ve been waiting for her! 😍

This plant is constantly in flower. The deer grazes it and it’s unfazed and just pushes new growth. This is the first time I’ve successfully kept them at bay long enough to have this many flowers at once

Not a great season so far because of a terrible spider mite infestation. Here are a few blooms in spite of them:

- Totally Tangerine
- Rockstar
- And what I hope is Great Silence

The standout for me is Boscobel. She has never stopped flowering and the repeat is fast! As soon as I deadhead, I see another few buds. Also impressed with Dannahue. Both planted bare roots in the spring.
Bonus butterflies on echinacea and pugster butterly bush 🦋

Battling deer, thrips, and Japanese beetles ( I sent a 1/2 dozen to their watery grave this evening 😈) I still managed a second flush. The only new addition is Fun in the Sun recently acquired at my local nursery during their July sale.

I cannot begin to tell you how exquisite is the fragrance on this rose. Might be my favorite scent yet. Planted bare root at the end of March. It is quite a bit of shade and it’s still blooming. I will move her to a sunnier spot in the fall. It is also nearly thornless which is why I put it near a pathway. I can’t wait to see her when she is older and in more sun.

Totally Tangerine 😍

I’ve been impatient to get blooms on some roses but I’m so glad they did not all bloom at the same time cause I can prolong my enjoyment of the first flush :

- Munstead Wood
- Alexandra of Kent
- Mill on the Floss

Purchased from local nursery on sale last year

She’s very pretty! I don’t see too many people growing her! She’s worth a spot in your garden 🥰

She’s having a moment. Smells divine 🥰

She is so sweet, very fragrant and nearly thornless. I got her on sale at my local nursery last year. So glad I got her 🥰

Planted bare root at the end of March. Such a stand out! 😍

James Galway is on fire! 😍
