@Suesyn Thank you. I’m sorry to hear about your loss of smell and taste senses. My rose is facing south as well and it is against a brick wall, so maybe not ideal in terms of colour combination.
@JessicaS@Victoria Sponge unfortunately I've lost all the labels over years of moving and repotting these roses. I used to stick the label to the edge of the pot. Many a time, they've either disintegrated or completely faded away. I'm just a 'plant the roses, forget about them, they'll always flower' person until I started reading @Marlorena's roses thread. 🙂🌹

Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
@cooldoc, this is Felicia this morning after last night's gentle rain. I think she has a long way to go before she could be classed as a climber, even a small one.
@Eustace I am wondering if its Handel actually... I was thinking that normally has some yellow on but I guess it depends what stage, if it is thats even more lovely. Ive always loved that rose, it started my love affair with roses! Might defer to @Marlorena - do you think the white with the pale pink tinge in Eustace pic looks like Handel? That swings it if so, its on the list!!
@Suesyn sorry to hear about your loss of small and taste.. I had a taste of it during covid.. Did not have major symptoms but lost smell for few days.. and a faulty kitchen extractor had short circuit.. plastic was burning and smoke filled the kitchen and we did not know even though we were sitting in the next room.. knew about it only when the alarms went off.. was so scary.... Thanks for the felicia pic.. my austins are in similar state after the rain...
@pitter-patter I too have a bright red from renaissance.. Trish.. love the bright red colour.. how is the scent on Nadia?
All lovely roses, but I’m becoming a fan of Natalija too @JessicaS, seems to be holding colour better than your CPM. There are 23 Pheno Geno roses offered on TCL so worth checking to see if they’re geared up to send to the UK in the Autumn. A couple of very pretty lavenders appearing too..
Francis Dubreuil, new this year and a bit of a spindly bush so far. I had one bloom months ago, so a big wait for these:

It's interesting how the colour has changed on my Ghislaine de Feligonde. It looks much more like the photographs I'd seen of yours now.
First year it was apricot buds opening to pink flowers with yellow highlights then fading to white/cream
Second year apricot buds opening to apricot flowers which quickly turned pink, before fading to white/cream
This year apricot buds opening to apricot flowers which are then fading to creamy white without a noticeable pink stage.
This is more like how I was expecting it to look originally.
