The main flowers for my bouquets this month have been lady of shallot and The poet's Wife. It does help that I have multiple plants of those two. Lot's of other roses just have ruined buds and occasionally a flower.
@Omori but what a shame about your TCL order. I think I stupidly delayed mine by the substitutions I chose. I really hope they come soon , I don't want them having been in the fridge for ages.
The other order I'm waiting for is infuriating. My lovely husband bought Munstead Wood (I know I said I wouldn't but I didn't, he did ) and Midsummer Night's Dream to be delivered for my birthday which was over a week ago. Lying couriers and depot coverups mean the package still isn't here. The retailer is doing everything it can but they are being told every day that it is out for delivery.
I have pruned a lot of roses. The window cleaner remarked today how much easier his access is , had I got rid of some?...er..13 more for pots (hopefully) arriving soon.
Murky warm weather here and Marie Pavie, Scarborough Fair and Golden Beauty are still blooming away with a scattering on LoS, Royal William, Timeless Purple and Chandos Beauty. I see some models are predicting very cold weather after Christmas, I hope it materialises, I have lots of climbers to defoliate.

Sorry to hear that @Tack. I would think that the seller would be happy to send again (after Christmas) and claim it on their insurance.
@newbie77 nice bouquet. @Tack hoping you take delivery of your birthday present soon.
Munstead Wood is my longest and continuously flowering rose; started in June, still going strong. It has around 5-6 flowers and an equal number of buds ready to open. LoS is almost done for this season. There are still a few buds on Desdemona, QoS and a few HTs.
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

At least there is one advantage of late pruning.

It's lovely that you have so much in bloom!
