My outgoing list, actually they are already gone. I think I could have kept them but I really needed pots/space for other plants.
Marie pavie: nothing wrong with it, I just like bigger blooms.
yews piaget : totally ruined in rain. Was very fragrant.
Chartuse de Parma: didn't like it's colour.
Novalis: total mess in rain.
I have Deelish but mine struggles to open sometime. I think it needs more sun.
Boscobel is in the list to go, but I do like it's coral colour.
@Omori, you would enjoy cutting garden. This year I had lots of lovely bouquets from my pots/cutting garden. When I bring roses indoors, the fragrance seems to be more prominent and I can also appreciate different fragrances.
I can't seem to find a link to their offer, I usually get the email but not so far.. I don't suppose they've got much left in stock.
... for those who have Pheno Geno roses, what is your impression so far, and which variety has worked the best for you?.. how BS prone are they?.. thanks..
My colours are fairly segregated, yellow/orange/red in the west/back garden and pink/purple/white in the east/front garden. I have just committed sacrilege by ordering Mutabilis, which I love the look of but it’s yellow and pink. I am now having rose anxiety about where to place it! It’s either going at the end of my extended yellow/orange bed (opposite the hot border) or in the hot border itself where it will get more sun. Decisions, decisions..
@dabolem same as Tack, AdS was constantly covered in hideous mildew. It is known to be susceptible to it, but I thought it might be OK in my hotter climate with plenty of water. Nope!
@newbie77 same here with CdeP, the colour was a horrible, dirty bubblegum pink, plus it was a reluctant bloomer, a BS magnet and had an ugly habit to boot. No good points for me, even the scent was underwhelming. I’m not getting on very well with my trial HTs in general though, only Pure Poetry so far is bushy and healthy but that spoils badly in the rain.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
..2 roses have bit the dust here.. 'New Zealand'.. really good foliage, surprisingly, but I wasn't in love with it.. 'Buxom Beauty'.. well the scent was nice.. an uglier plant I've not seen in a long time..

I have Mileva (aka Mileva Frayla, Renée van Wegberg, bozmilefra). The BS resistance is probably above average but it gets BS (here, this year, in a small pot... so to be observed the next year. It is described as a compact rose, suitable for a patio pot (60-70cm). The new basal on my plant is bigger than this and the plant seems to be vigorous, but probably won't grow much over 80cm. Its strength is fragrance - strong, raspberry, and not just a hint of raspberry but it's a dominant note. It is one of my most fragrant roses, worth having just for the fragrance. Together with its size, it makes it a good potted rose for a seating area or somewhere where you can enjoy the fragrance. It would get lost in a border, I think.
@Marlorena I have Natalija / mia pheno geno and peach. Natalija is lovely, pretty ruffled flowers in shades of apricot / yellow / peach. Ages gracefully to paler tones and rain resistant, the blooms are quite shallow cupped compared to say Austins so they dont ball and tight so dont shatter. Its stayed nicely compact up until last few weeks then has a couple of long canes but eh, easily pruned! For a new rose brought midyear its flowered well and smells beautiful. Touch of blackspot at the base only last few weeks as its neighbour is prone, but not really noticable. I love it.
Peach I only got recently in the TW sale but its similar size so far but with very strong self supporting stems, I bet ideal for cutting. Awaiting buds opening but so far a dark peachy pinky like my fragrant delight when it opens.
@edhelka ..thanks for the report, sounds quite a nice rose, if not spectacular at this stage.. I'm yet to be hooked by these roses so all information is useful, just in case..
..some Oct 1st blooms, mostly same as yesterday.. 'Frilly Cuff'.. 'The Anniversary Rose'.. 'Golden Memories'.. 'Golden Beauty'.. 'Scarborough Fair'.. 'Nathalie Nypels'..

Soul looking shiny in earlier sun, this and the following two are super fragrant:
Palais Biron:
Rose de Rescht:
Heidi Klum, badly defoliated after insect attack but leafing out and blooming at the top:
