They are wonderful. I've raised many in the past from David Austin in England, some dating as early as 1500's. Damask types, which the oils are used to make perfumes, are the best. I too love hybrid tea roses and have several varieties, some do better here than others, but heirlooms, especially the climbers are the most hardy for those that don't have time to doctor them as much ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343202403706716977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-17931794082539645492009-07-06T19:32:59.187-05:002009-07-06T19:32:59.187-05:00oh they are all so lovely, I couldn't choose a...oh they are all so lovely, I couldn't choose a favorite, I'll take 'em all :)A Brit in Tennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080644141670903160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-77505723657084057892009-07-06T19:12:17.606-05:002009-07-06T19:12:17.606-05:00Hellooooo Betsy!

The hybrids have had some resistance bred out of them to increase bloom time, color, etc. The heirlooms have various bloom times, not as long, but intense fragrance and quite hardy. Try one!<br />Lovely roses Betsy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343202403706716977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-40763384226141274112009-07-06T17:21:53.642-05:002009-07-06T17:21:53.642-05:00They are all gorgeous!

My mother didn't know what kind it was, but she always called it the "St. James Peace Rose", because our church, St. James Methodist, was just across the street, and the house had been the minister's residence previously.Deborah Godinhttp://notesfromthecloudmessenger.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-48744256493264094032009-07-06T14:00:38.058-05:002009-07-06T14:00:38.058-05:00These pictures are so terrific, I can just about s...These pictures are so terrific, I can just about smell the roses with my eyes, ha!
