  Great thread @Marlorena. Wonderful and informative, and it's great to see how roses can perform in the 'real world'.

  I'd just like to add my thanks to you Marlorena. It's been so nice to read this friendly and informative thread, and to take inspiration from the lovely photos. Nothing beats experience, and this thread and the other rose threads have provided that in abundance. Sharing our successes and mistakes alike is a great way of learning about roses, they don't always behave as the catalogues tell us!
  Thank you.
  
  Edited to add that like Owd Potter above, I too bought a rose having seen your recommendation -- Natalie Nypels. Looking forward to flowers....

  Really useful to have a clickable list, thank you @micearguers I'm sure I'm not the only one going back to re-review. It made me laugh to see I have 15 of those roses already, you photograph and describe the roses so compellingly, thank you again @Marlorena .
