No roses yet where I am; there is a bud on Savannah. It's been quite cool and rainy this week.

@JustJazzmom  Almost all of mine are blooming, and the few others have buds, but then it has been warm around here.  I have been feeding them ever two weeks, and will do so again today.

 

Zulily offers Week's roses today, so bought Jump for Joy, and Easy Does It, as they will fit in my area of apricot, coral, and pink roses, of course pink roses, all shades, are interspersed around in most areas, as are white, but am keeping yellow, apricot, coral,  some white, and a few pale pink in another area

@mousiegirl Easy Does It is one of favorites due to color, fragrance and the petals haves unique edges.

@Dinaki  Nice to see them.  I had ordered six, and received three of one kind, and three of another kind, neither being Passionate Kisses.  One set I tossed because it was ugly, and the remaining set has promise, though not what I wanted, and they are still in pots as I don't know where to put them due to the color, and I don't know what size they will become as I have no info on them.  Last year, they were deep red/coral, somewhat quartered, and I loved the shape so kept them.  This year, they are blooming twice the size, still the same color, but a totally different shape.  Some branches have multiple buds as a floribunda, but most have one single bloom.  This is the mystery of my garden, lol.

@mousiegirl Do you have names for the most recent pictures you added?

@JustJazzmom  The first frame of the two darker roses is one rose, but the color is different inside from outside.  I know this rose has a tag, so after I remove all of the retched weeds around it, I will dig around and post it for you.

 

The second frame with the two light pink roses, I have no clue.  I bought this decades ago from Roses of Yesterday and Today.  If there is a tag, it is probably buried a foot or more, though I would love to know the name myself.  It is doing wonderfully this year after the rain we had, finally, so am waiting to see if it is a once bloomer, or will bloom again.  

 

I took more pictures of the pink roses that sprouted from the white Iceberg, so will post those.  There is one scrawny branch with white roses.  This is a very long trailing rose, so just adds more mystery to it.  The Icebergs are on their own roots, and that is what make this a mystery.

 

I received Chamblee's roses yesterday, and they look great, very good size.  Heirloom's cost more and arrive in tiny pots.  I havn't ordered any rose from them this year, but am trying other companies.  I ordered some from Edmund's so will let you know about them, but you probably already know. Smiley Happy  I have also ordered many from Cottage Farms, from here and zulily, so we will see.

 

Did you see my thread about my other mystery rose?  Do you have any ideas of what it could be?

 

By the way, remember the yummy red rose I posted last year and we discussed wanting to know which it was?  It did not survive.  After decades and several droughts, though I did water it last year, it died, so sad.  I have been searching around for one like it, and havn't found one yet.
