More roses are blooming. Now, there's two more that I have no idea what they are. Floribundas (they are two different roses) I've updated my rose page, lots more added. http://www.bondpiano.com/Dirt2006/RosePage.html
I haven't a clue what they are but I'm second in the queue for some of those. No pushing now Denee!!!
They are beautiful!!! My first ever attempt at rose growing is working, they have gone from "sticks" to "sticks with leaves" :-D
Another pic to help Pinkiered, forget the first pic. I just realized it's a miniature rose, and I'm not even going to try to figure those out. Here's an open pic of the second one.
OK does it have a scent? If so, how strong? And what does it smell like? And would you call that an apricot color? Or is it more pink? The reason Im asking is because pics taken in the direct sun and in a shadow tend to make the same rose look like two different roses. And those colors are so close in the pics that Im having a hard time telling them apart.
It has a sweet scent, I'd call it moderately strong. It's more apricot than pink, and the yellow in the center is on the orange side, less yellow. The more it opens, the less the yellowy-orange center shows, and the more apricot it appears. I was thinking it might be Sheila's Perfume, but the photos online look more pink than my rose, and the colors of the edges of the petals are more subtle in my rose.
You know I was looking at the Sheila's Perfume too. Thats why I asked about the color. I have a book of roses and the one in the book looks totally different from the ones Im seeing online. I think its the amount of sun on the flower when its pic is taken. Cut a full bloom off and take it down to a nursery. They should be able to tell you.
I've been looking through one of my rose books, and Sheila's perfume looks like a dead ringer in the book. I'll try the nursery, but our's doesn't tend to be much help.
