I could not agree more, I used to hate them, now I love them! I think I first fell in love with roses in England, the fragrance was intoxicating and impossible to ignore. I feel as though roses are just like many other vintage trends, coming way back into style. <em>Julie, I can't imagine you ever hating them. And I think you're right - they're totally vintage chic! -kris</em> Great post! I could not agree more, I used to hate them, now I love them!

Julie, I can’t imagine you ever hating them. And I think you’re right – they’re totally vintage chic! -kris

Love the 'Ballerina' and she is dancing in one of my mixed borders although it is just the two step. New Dawn is a fairly resistant climber which is soft pink and lovely and the Oso Easy Roses seem to resist many problems. I will always plant a rose or two and then come enjoy your garden of bounty at Blithewold. <em>Layanee, I think your New Dawn is bigger than my house - and so beautiful. I think now that your tour is behind you it's time for a visit! Come while the roses are still peaking... -kris</em> A well grown rose is a thing of beauty.
