I brought this GIANT rose (Double Delight) inside to admire it. It's my all time favorite rose. I'll miss the roses this winter.

New Day - Hybrid Tea
After hearing so many people rave over "Knock Out" roses, I finally decided to give it a shot. If you are looking for rose quantity and not quality...this is the best choice. It has out performed all other rose bushes I have. It really is a beautiful and carefree bush. However, don't expect to see perfectly shaped roses like the Teas. From a distance it's beautiful and impressive. I think I'll buy more of these next Spring. I'm surprised to hear myself say that!
This is a close up photo of the bush pictured above.
My #1 favorite rose bush of all time!
Hybrid Tea
Grandiflora
Sometimes Chrysler Imperial has a reddish tint, sometimes a purplish tint, and then sometimes a pinkish tint.
This is Double Delight in the hot Summertime.
Charisma was one of my new ones for 2014. I'm really glad I took this picture, because the bush is no longer alive. Very beautiful combination of orange and yellow. Floribunda
