This is Valentine rose. It is always pretty, a very good bloomer. This rose stays small, about three feet. It's good for planting in a large pot or barrel.

This is Mrs. B.R. Cant. Mr. Cant was a famous rosarian, and he named this rose after his wife. It is one of my best blooming roses. Right now it is covered with blooms, I stopped counting after I hit 75. It will get huge if left un-pruned, about 8 feet tall and just as wide. The flowers have a good smell and a cabbagey shape.
This is a Mrs. B.R. Cant flower fully open. Tea roses bend under their own weight, and this one is no exception. All the blooms nod downwards.
This is Grandma;s Yellow Rose. It doesn't get very big. It isn't a shrub rose. It reaches about 4 feet in height, but mine has never gotten very full.
This is Dame de Coeur rose. Dame de Coeur has very large hips. A smallish rose, about four feet tall, but it gets full, also about four feet wide.

This is Honey Sweet.

Chorale rose. The flowers are a beautiful soft pink, hard to capture with my camera, but really lovely. It is a good bloomer, almost always in bloom. It has been one of my biggest rose surprises because I would have never chosen it for myself - it was a gift. It has turned out to be one of my favorites due to its consistent blooming.

This is Duchess de Brabant. It is what as known as a shrub rose - tall and wide.
This is a bloom of Duchess de Brabant.
This is Belinda's Dream. Very pretty flowers, very full. The shrub is thick and healthy, and the flowers have a good smell. One of my favorites.

Blush Noisette. It makes a strong showing in spring with nothing happening in the summer, and then a second but less impressive show in the fall.
Blush Noisette makes sprays of blooms. They have a very intense smell, super sweet.
Madamoiselle Franziska Kreuger is another one of my best bloomers. It is always covered in roses, 50 at a time.
The flowers are pretty, but they reflex quickly. The flowers are a pink and yellow blend, you can see pink flowers, yellow flowers and pink/yellow flowers on the plant all at the same time.

La Marne. What's not to like? It get covered in flowers. The cooler the weather is the pinker the flowers are. In the dead of summer they are almost white.
La Marne flowers have a good smell.
Sweet little flowers of La Marne. La Marne makes a very full, thick shrub.
