Roses are renowned for being one of the most popular flowers in the World and with the hundreds and hundreds of different varieties such as climbing, rambling, hybrid teas, shrubs, thorn-less and miniatures to choose from - there is always a rose that will suit any garden style and be a stunning sight to behold.

I love this thread, Gata Montes:D. Like I already mentioned (more than once, I know:p ) roses are my favorite plants! I find them the most beautiful and fascinating. They look gorgeous and smell heavenly. They're perfect. I dream of a rose garden:love:

Here are some of my favorite varieties:

Those are absolutely gorgeous roses! I planted my very first rose bush this weekend, but it doesn't have leaves or flowers yet. I remember when I was younger, my grandmother had the most beautiful rose garden full of colors that I have not seen since. That very dark purple/black rose is my favorite! I wonder where you get those?

claudine, - thank you - I somehow thought you might, especially as I know you love :love: roses just as much as I do :D
and am sure that we are all going to get a great deal of enjoyment from seeing other peoples favorites as well as posting many of our own :)

Love your pictures and particularly like " Augusta Luise " - its such a lovely color :)

Here are a few of my bi-color favorites which although fairly rare are available and can be bought or ordered from good roses suppliers - but I especially like them - as no one flower is ever the same as the other :cool:

The dark rose you mention - Black Baccara - although fairly rare and in much demand from florists around the World - is available but if you want to buy one - you normally have to order it a year in advance as there are only a certain amount of plants available each year.

Acapulco rose is stunning!
Claude Monet looks exactly like my miniature two-colored rose. I'm wondering if it's a coincidence. Maybe my rose is a miniature version of Claude Monet?:)

Here are two beauties:

Scotkat - thank you for your photo and think " wedding day " is beautiful :)

claudine - I love " Albertine " and remember it well - especially as it was a favorite of my Grandfathers and he used have quite few of these roses climbing over outbuildings and around tree stumps :)

As we moving more into pinkish colors - here are a few pink beauties well worth looking out for

"Moonstone" is one of the prettiest roses that I've ever seen! It looks very feminine:)
How do you feel about yellow roses? I love them, even though it's not my favorite color. Somehow, yellow roses always make me think of spring.

This is "Creme de la Creme"

" Creme de la Creme " is a lovely a rose and such a lovely name too :)

Although I'm like you Claudine and love all colors of roses - when planted in my own garden I prefer the brighter deeper shades - as due to the strong light that we have here - the lighter shades tend to pale into insignificance :( but have to agree with you - that yellow roses of all shades always make you think of spring - because they definitely do - but to be honest I love seeing them at any time of the year - especially as they always look so fresh and bright - just like these

All so pretty .

I like Albertine as my late Dad was called Bert I have been looking for a fuchsia called Albertina but as he adored his roses in his garden Albertine would be just perfect if I could grow in a pot as I have no more room for climbers.
