All  your roses are magnificent.

May I ask what part of the country you live?

Thank you, lulu2, Northern CA.  It has been hot most of this year due to the drought.

I want names!! What is the lilac colored one? It looks like Poseidon or Neptune.

Do you have mostly the English roses? Our area just finished the first flush of roses.

I started with English roses in my rose garden, discovered half of the ones I chose get blackspot and started paying attention to what was planted at Extension garden. I now have mostly floribundas and some shrub and grandifloras with a few hybrid teas and 2 miniatures.

I am now focusing on fragrant roses that are disease resistant.

Yes, Jazz, almost entirely English, a few floribundas, and a few grandifloras, I think. I try to get continually blooming roses, the rest are repeaters.   Due to our terrible weather this year, hot, cold, hot, even the disease resistent roses get black spot, but I just pick those leaves off, and all is well.

By lavender, do you mean the first rose I posted?
