Need a little more info. What type of roses are you looking for? What colour. Here are a few of my favourites
Mothers Love - pink florabunda - very strong perfume and profuse bloomer.
Peace - Yellow/peach colour Hybrid Tea - Very pretty - not very strong perfume to my nose, but could just be me.
Mr. Lincoln - Red HT - beautiful long lasting flowers, good repeater - good perfume
Princess of Wales - White florabunda - no perfume - good repeat profuse bloomer.
Stainless Steel - Tall mauvy/greyey flower - good repeater and extremely good perfume.
Queen Elizabeth - Tall pink grandiflora - extremely good repeater - good perfume.
There are many many more. These are just my favourites, but I don't have a lot and so far, only have HTs and florabundas.
Hope this is of some help
Regards

My favourite of the moment is Amber Nectar, a small growing and small flowering floribunda with masses of lovely amber coloured blooms that open as very beautiful tiny bids.
Another that does very well for me in the Vic Central Highlands is Blueberry Hill - it has a large semidouble flower in a mauve/bluish colour. It is also a floribunda.
My Fave Hybrid T is Just Joey, which I have a row of 8 standards, which have flowered all summer and Autumn. Large Apricot blooms. Fairly open in form.
Bonica is a pink floribunda that just puts out masses of bloom with little care.
Sally Holmes is another that constantly and heavily blooms.
None of these might suit you Nemo. They are MY favourites, and when you search on google for photos, you will discover that I like a fairly open rose, that shows you its stamens.

| Seduction, Bonica and Just Joey are my favourites for now.. But with thousands out there it is hard to pick a favourite. What grows good in one area may not grow to well in another. I would be asking what roses grow best in my area first !!! Then make a selection... Cheers ...MM. |

My 3 favourites are: Rusticana a disease resistant long flowering heat tolerant rose. Never see it come up in the forum, but for hot conditions is excellent.
Apricot nectar although in my climate I have to spray regularly to keep it free from rust and hot chocolate again beacuse it does so well here and is disease resistant. It is hard to pick favourites because I love them all and they have many different characteristics. |
