Choosing roses

[Darrell Soper]

Go for colour and perfume. I have gone off the ones that are pretty but do not smell!

Bien vu ! C'est le genre de chose que je ne pense jamais à photographier. J'aime la composition et les couleurs

Nice! I've planted two stalks of roses in my backyard in november and leaves start to appear now. I can't wait for them to bloom!

Love this shot. I agree with Darrell...fragrance is everything. I have some wonderful looking knockout roses, but without a scent they just don't seem like real roses.

[Vickie Posey]

Love the shot! As long as they smell, that's all that matters to me. :-)

[Kalexa]

Love roses. Another great shot and thanks to @farmboy9155 for the great gardening tip!

I have a few roses. They do pretty well in my back yard which gets lots of sun. I just purchased Hot Cocoa because a local know gardener has recommended it for our area. I'm looking forward to finding some time to get out and plant it.

There are so many varieties we are spoilt for choice, I wonder which you chose ?

[Helene]

@snowy This is my fav rose, if you remember the picture, but it doesn't really smell

I agree the fragrance is the thing you should pick.

roses everywhere

My favorite roses are confetti roses. They're yellow with orangey/reddish edges, and they remind me of a sunset. I love that there are so many beautiful varieties to choose from!

[Jen Dee]

So many choices!

[Constance Brinkley]

Love this shot. My favorite flower.

[Shannon Pitton]

So many to choose from. Lovely composition.

A difficult choice. My favorite in my garden is the "Mary Rose". Profuse blooms and beautiful fragrance!
