I caved to Peter Beales's offer and got a cheap Märchenzauber (Bliss, Bliss Parfuma), a cheap Blue for You and a full-price Bordure Camaieu because it was there.
Yes I would say Astronomia is right up there in terms of success @Marlorena, apart from no fragrance, but we all need a few undemanding, floriferous workhorses to balance the voluptuous beauties we fuss over, I reckon.
Some serious splurging going on there @WhereAreMySecateurs, what’s your tally for this year, or are you afraid to look?!
Annoyingly, I have just received an email from Filroses saying they can’t supply Crown Princess Margareta or Falstaff after all, despite them being listed as in stock. DA licensing strikes again, I suspect. I’ve cancelled the order, but that does mean sacrificing the third rose, Crépuscule - not worth the postage for one bare root. The latter and Twilight Zone seem destined to be roses that will forever elude me!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.

Smashing roots and fabulous tree @WhereAreMySecateurs.
Sumptuous bouquet on the other page @Rojas, how lovely to have such clean bright flowers at this time of year
'Cornelia' is one of few still soldiering on here as I don't prune it until much later..
Henry St Nursery have restocked some popular ones, like Princess Charlene de Monaco, Rene Goscinny, and Admiral (which @Nollie mentioned IIRC)

I think the people who lived here before us must have loved roses.
Hopefully some of the other rose 'nuts' might be able to identify them for you.
Track garden spending? Not on your nelly, @Nollie 😁
