Well remembered @Omori Summer Song and Hot Chocolate make me come over all peculiar and I was a bit worried about SB but it hasn't the red in it thank goodness. The photo isn't quite right and the colour is just ok, sort of appealing in an odd way.
My first Chippendale I'm not at all sure about colour-wise
Thanks @Omori -Â I know that DS has deeply beautiful flowers, I just think mine is a dud, possibly in the wrong place. I have a Papa Meilland near it and that too has never thrived.

My heart is sighning over all the gorg Buff Beauty pics.
Oh me and Austin Octopuses are very well acquainted, @Marlorena, we’re old friends. In fact Golden Celebration is waving hers at me as I type 😊  I was vaguely thinking WS would do as a stand-in for a struggling baby TP on the other side of my arched doorway, where the octopuses could be tied in.
I seem to have far many more new roses this year than I remember ordering, how did that happen? Anyone else experienced this strange phenomenon? I have half a dozen newbies still to open.

I haven't seen one in the flesh @Eustace but ST looks ok in pictures.
Me too @Nollie, I think when I saw the delivery fee at TCL I just bunged loads in, the roses are relatively cheap. Strange Brew, the Eden Standard, Herzogin Christiana, Ducat Mella, Knock Out were all whim purchases.
Lovely roses everyone. As much as I like to go out in the morning to garden to see roses, I look forward to open this thread to see roses.
@tack, my new Chippendale is showing colours in range from orange, apricot, pink and quite some variation in between. It looks like Austin rose but nothing special about fragrance.Â
@fire@nollie I’ll snap some pics of my Deep Secret when I’m home later, if you’d like?Â
Hmm, yes I think terracotta/rust would come join top with coral as my most disliked rose colour. My OH loves Super Trouper but I find the colour deeply suspect.
By all means Omori, please make us all jealous with your glorious DS photos 😆Â
Caught in the act of being coral, Super Trooper and Alexander both:
