Hi,
My roses are anywhere from 50 years to 5 months.
They are everywhere from ice burg roses which are pure white, and very full and tall to a island of miniature tree roses, with low growers around them.
I think I have around 25 to 30 bushes.
I have some that are so dark red that they have a black cast to them, others are a chocolate red, and a million different colors of yellow, gold pink and multi colors.
For me the trick is not to butcher them.
Gardner’s only know how to chop stuff down. I tell Gardner’s hands off, or I coach them what to trim.

@funcountess, Such lucious colors! I never thought about them living for 50 years, you must be a loving gardener with a with a well deserved green thumb.
I remember as a child that my dad had roses. He and a neighbor were always talking roses and sharing, or so it seemed to me. They had big beautiful roses. Then he got a terrible infection from a thorn somehow, never determined, but was a rare thing and he almost his arm as a result. Doctors eventually found a treatment that worked. I have a couple of the easy-grow knockout rose bushes.
