generally speaking, I have a special eye for hybrid tea roses just because I love to have in my home pots of cut roses in every period of the year... they are more suitable for this purpose than floribunda roses... altough they're wonderful too.
So, in this moment, the ones that I prefer in my garden are the Orient Express and the Today.
But all of them have strong points and weaknesses... ie Mme Carriere is beautiful and very parfumed (and the tree continues to produce dozens of flowers each day) but the flower is short-lasting... other ones are more delicate in case of rain, etc etc.
Anyway I'm happy to have all of them, in my home every week I have fulfilled colorful pots

I agree....each rose has strengths and weaknesses. I have fewer roses than you, but, love the ones I have. In the spring I am ordering Konigin Von Danemark and Madam Hardy. I love hybrid teas and old roses, too, but, alas, I don't have much lawn space, so, have had to choose carefully which roses to get. Your entire garden looks gorgeous.
