Mary - I'm a blue rose kinda gal.
the "mauve" family. Secondary is the "orange" family but not apricot. Don't really like the apricot colors. Don't like pink and have very few pink roses in my yards. I do have a few Buck's... actually, now that I think about it, I think I only have 4: Honey Sweet, Golden Princess, Distant Drums, & Hawkeye Belle. I do have Blue Skies on order for 2013 from Palatine (I think Palatine.. either Palatine or Roses Unlimited). I had Musicale, but it didn't survive (was a small rose from Chamblee & it didn't survive my incompetence
). Thinking about getting another one of those.
Just checked.. I don't have Blue Skies on order. I have Blue Nile & Blue River. But no Blue Skies. Huh, wonder why I haven't ordered it yet.
