@Eustace Your Wild Rover is showing an untypical bloom, but I hope it does well for you.. rather blackspot prone, so watch out for that.. I saw the Oddfellow's Rose at Peter Beales, at least I think I did, and was taken by it..
'Bonica' is a truly wonderful rose, if rather floppy and quite large in habit.. makes a good wall climber to 10 feet..
@Cambridgerose12 Need more photos of those roses really, not a lot to go on, but the 2nd might be 'Gentle Hermione'... can't give an opinion on the first..
@Rojas I can see why you love that rose.. seems to be remarkably healthy in your garden, but then most things are from your fabulous pictures..
High Summer.. some roses are resting, time to take it easy, right?.. mind you, it doesn't feel like it.. only mid 60's today for me..
Highlighting my own root 'Silas Marner' today.. I have finally fallen head over heels in love with this rose.. the scent, at its best when fresh, is fabulous, sweet and delicious.. the Spring foliage is a delight, all reds, greens and golds.. and the new growth now appearing is also a striking red..
..this was my rose 4 months ago.. a little forgotten piece that rooted in the ground [the original was lost]..
I have freed the dog rose from the bindweed and brambles, I think it is going to stay as I love the shape of it, the main stem is thick and quite sturdy but I’m going to get a stake for the front stem as it’s a little thinner
..this rare rose, of limited appeal, suffered in the cold Spring and is only now showing buds... I've nurtured it in the greenhouse and it came alive during the hot weather, now growing vigorously with lovely Tea foliage.. I understand it's authentic but I shall have to compare it.. 'Mme. Falcot' from 1858..
..this 'Amelie Nothomb' I'm liking very much.. seems to bloom in flushes with a short gap.. ..another rarity 'Directeur Constantin Bernard'.. an old Hybrid Tea that appears to bloom continuously, throwing up a single bloom per stem.. Achillea 'Summerwine' just starting to flower.. I've been looking forward to these.. ..my roses are between flushes, so nice to have some flowers..
Not often one sees a dog rose @zugenie .. it's quite pretty when in flower, and in case you haven't noticed before, if you don't deadhead it, it will produce some gorgeous deep red hips in autumn.. in fact these dog rose hips are considered the absolute best for culinary use, should you be so inclined..

Thank you @Nollie @purplerallim @Alfie_ I shall pot it up for the next couple of years.
What a coincidence @Cambridgerose12 I love mine and now you know the reason.
