They all look excellent @edhelka. What do you think of the standard? How long is the ‘trunk’ (sorry can’t remember the technical term!). Does it have three roses grafted onto it? I understand some cheaper ones only have two..
I have been debating a standard from TCL for ages, but if I did get one, it would have to really love the sun as it’s head will be above the parapet, so to speak!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
@Tack@Marlorena I am tempted by this one: Mme Ernest Piard I don't think I've seen it elsewhere. Zepeti - The Petite Knock Out - I wouldn't want that in my garden, I dislike that patent thing a lot, at least it's only a US patent, I hope they can't do that here on in Europe. But I actually like the normal Knock Out (the double red one), which is funny given how hated it is in the US and it probably isn't much different from other similar red landscaping roses, I guess it's the case of wanting what isn't available here. @Rickyjones24 Gabriel Oak is very nice with true blue. But I think that the lavenderish blue of Rozanne is still OK. Here are photos of them to help you decide. I haven't had the problem with Rozanne being too vigorous (yet!) but it needs cutting back regularly. If you want something similar but less vigorous, there's 'Azure Rush'.
I'm so envious of all your new roses - I just don't have room for any more at the moment and am trying to cut down on the number of pots I have because of the watering. I will enjoy your photos however next year.

...Knockouts are hugely popular in the U.S... it's only the few purists on garden web, of which you are aware, that show disdain for them...
..Zepeti would be for my greenhouse.. it wouldn't be a garden rose.. I might order in the new year..
..Your roses look good..
