Belinda's Dream and Quietness are two that were very popular. <br /><br />I know Quietness was ranked #1 by the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden in NY for disease resistance and overall performance. They quit spraying several years ago so their recommendation is important. I'll try to track down more goodies for you!Lynn Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726341040976568748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362037601559788546.post-61114698430802669012012-06-22T10:26:21.263-04:002012-06-22T10:26:21.263-04:00Wonderful blog!

Yikes, my back hurts from reading that. <br /><br />I would have loved to see all the boats from the Jubilee filled with beautiful rose. Wow, that must have been something else…<br /><br />I hope I do not get pigs in my yard as I recently added the Blue Eyed Grass AKA Iris, to my garden. I noticed them still blooming a few days ago but did not see any blooms today when I watered them...<br /><br />I picked up 2 new roses this past weekend. Just a simple Knock Out and a Double Knock Out as I dont have a green thumb where rose's are concerned. I should as my grandmother had a beautiful Rose Garden. She spent lots of time tending them but I dont have that kind of spunk as the humidity kills me in the Summer months in GA. Knock Outs are better then nothing....Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362037601559788546.post-55382718748433708242012-06-18T13:35:30.753-04:002012-06-18T13:35:30.753-04:00Yes, it was gorgeous, Phillip.
