I have a very small rose collection (30 plants), but I especially love my Princess Charlene de Monaco which is a beautiful pink full rose that resembles a peony. I’d love to add some different varieties to my collection in the future!

I would love to grow an Old Rose, like Alice Vena – to feel as thought I am preserving a piece of history.

I really love this whole series on roses. I started an interest in Old Garden Roses about 10 years ago. Though my collection is not big, I really love learning about roses. I keep finding new and beautiful varieties to add to my wish list.

I would love the chance to grow Hettie and Treasure Trail, they are both so unique and the colors are absolutely stunning. Every time my grandma used to call she’d ask if the roses were blooming so I’ve been building my collection of roses in her honor.

I love all the David Austin roses. I look forward to searching for some of the older varieties thru the resources you shared. Your enthusiasm for beautiful rose gardens is very contagious!

I was browsing through some websites and found a rose named Betty on Rogue Valley Roses website. It’s a climber which I want to build a trellis for. The thing that drew me to this rose was that it was highly fragrant. I love to stop and smell the roses so fragrance is a huge thing for me. The second thing that drew me to this rose was it’s light pink coloring. There is just something about that rose that looks antique and picture perfect to me. I would LOVE to build this trellis and get some roses planted!!!

My moms favorite : Princess Grace. I didn’t think I would like the severe pink petals in my own garden but she’s become my favorite too :)

David Austin! I fell in love with the David Austin Roses about 3 years ago. I removed and transplanted all of my Old Roses that were planted out front of my house prior to me moving in 30 years ago out back where my greenhouse is. I started replacing with David Austin last year, my first buds have arrived and can’t wait to smell and cherish them here real soon.

We have been talking about adding roses to our garden and I’ve had my eye on Mother of Pearl. It reminds me of the roses my dad used to care for at my childhood home. He meticulously cared for those roses and would bring my mother the blooms to put on the kitchen table for dinner.
