Beautiful. I love some of the 2 colored ones, and the blue and purple ones. Oh heck, I like most all of them! Here's one of my favorite rose pictures. We would get some truly strange weather combinations in Colorado.

LOL! The hardest part of planting roses is figuring out how many you can plant, and which ones it will be!

There are only 4 in the rose bed right now. Peace (the original pink/yellow bicolor), Mirandy (dark red), New Day (pale Yellow) and Brigadoon, which starts out as a lavender/dark pink but develops a yellow/white center as the bush gets older.

That's a great picture! It always seems so weird to have a blooming flower covered in snow!

Having spent some time in Colorado myself, I'd have trouble picking between it and Texas for instant freeze-your-patootie-off weather.

I have a website bookmarked that had a wonderful picture selection of Hybrid Teas, but their server must be down. I'll post the link anyway, in case someone wants to check it out later.
