Thanks for posting all of this, Warren.

Most of the roses I am unfamiliar with, so I can’t make many specific comments. But it seems that you are committed to explorative crosses as well as “finishing” crosses…I love the broad diversity of genetics you are working with.

Thanks Joe;

The unfamiliar ones are probably the ones which I bred, the others would have similar genetics to what you would have available in US but arranged differently. I post these to show not so much the genetics but the rose types used in certain ways that can benefit modern roses.
