Gosh, Zuzu, where should I begin to say how much I like which rose? Here are some of my favorites, without simply reposting the entire list:

Apricot Nectar - I love nearly all apricot-colored roses, and yours is no exception

Baron Girod de l'Ain - when I saw a photo you posted of this rose two years ago I ordered one, but it was at the end of the season so I tried to overwinter it in a pot in the garage, but it didn't make it. Maybe I should give it another try.

Baronne Edmond de Rothschild: - nice reverse!

Blastoff - I never heard of it till now, so I looked it up on HMF, and saw that they have no record of anyone selling it. There are so many of Ralph's roses I wish I could find.

Camille Pissarro - another one I hadn't heard of, probably because it's only just barely hardy enough for my area, so it probably isn't sold in my neck of the woods.

Castilian -- very nice, like a florist's rose.

Centennial Star - I really like its cupped shape and pink-tinged yellow blossoms

Champagne - what beautiful, classical form.

Champagne Cocktail - I got my first one this year from Heirloom, but it's small (I know, don't get you started) and is growing in a pot.

Cherries and Cream - that's the one I saw with you and Sue at Garden Valley Ranch. So nice, but only just barely hardy for my region.

Distant Drums - has always been one of my favorites because of its unusual colors

Dream Come True - pure perfection in form, size, and color

Easy Does It - another one with great form

Gingersnap - if I had any more room I'd get it. Well, there is that one spot over by the armillary. Come to think of it, I could just get rid of the armillary... Glare
