What a great selection @Busy-Lizzie , I'm glad you got Blush Noisette, it is one of my favourites, such an easy delightful rose.
Received my last rose order for this year, I forgot to photograph Little Love before planting, it had particularly impressive roots. From C&K Jones. Distant Drums belowBathsheba has had a very good year, it has rained a lot but its resistance has improved so much with ageUtopiaBoscobelChippendale, never seen it so dark beforeJoie de VivreMarie PavieDames de Chenonceau
I planted all my bulbs in the first week of September. I was supposed to be having an op (which never happened) and I wasn't supposed to lift heavy weights afterwards. They are nearly all poking through already.
Those Jones roses look terrific, Tack. I am still waiting for Distant Drums and Vintage Classic / Queen of Elegance from them. They have had great problems digging up roses in their muddy fields this year. BTW that Dames des C is so superbly lovely.
Happy Thanksgiving to @SYinUSA and any other American friends here. 🦃 Ws2000, Winchester C, Deelish, a late Chaters double hollyhock
Great list @Busy-Lizzie, I'm really envious as I've run out of room here.
I've also got some green bulb shoots poking through, though not sure I've labelled them correctly.
I'm delighted to have been able to cut two white Winchester Cathedral roses planted in memory of my mother, who was born 100 years ago today and the last remaining red bloom from Royal William (my father's rose). Taking them to the cemetery tomorrow.
Very impressive rose lists and new purchases, plus some terrific late blooms.
It’s interesting how some roses greatly improve weather resistance over time, like Tack’s Bathsheba and my Soul. Others just flat-out refuse - yes I’m looking at you La Rose de Molinard! It has the most beautiful form and such an intoxicating fragrance but I’ve never know a rose spoil so fast in rain.
Looking forward to seeing Distant Drums, you lucky people. There are a few US-exclusive roses I would kill to get my mitts on!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Finally, my bare root order arrived from Loubert. According to the parcel tracking number, it had spend the last 15 days wending its way through France and in and out of customs, before arriving in a somewhat travel battered box. Roses look good despite the ordeal.
Not the massive roots you get with Trevor White but lots of canes above the grafts.
After a bit of a soak I planted them all in pots for now which will give me a year to sort out the part of the garden they are going to end up in. Forgot to take any more pictures before planting.
This brings my total number of roses up to 59. I'll stop at 60 I promise...
Don't grow up - grow sideways.
Gardening in the West Midlands on a mix of neutral loamy sand & Victorian building rubble.
Okay @Marlorena This is a full inventory of my roses, including the Loubert bare roots (which were mainly Portlands and other obscure stuff I couldn't get in the UK.)

I think that totals 58 plus one I bred myself which hasn't flowered yet but will hopefully do so next year. Looking back at that list, I think I like Portlands and species roses more than David Austins.

We cannot let you get away with that... we want ALL the names..
..there is little else to salivate over right now..
Has anyone got experience of Petrovic Roses from Serbia - Good and bad. Opinions appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
