Carlos, I am amazed at how many iris you have growing on a city lot. It must be a very large lot. You have many on those lists to add to your Schreiner's collection. I also see that you have a large number of Walter Moores iris. I am also a collection of Moores iris and also have a good collection of the older Schreiner's iris. I plan in the near future to get all my Schreiner's and Moores' iris into their own areas. Now they are growing in various iris areas. I have a collection of the Dykes Metal winners. At least I have something growing under all the names. I am not sure anyone knows the true ID of some of the older Dykes winners. I have several different older Dykes iris growing under the same name. I have 20 acres of which 14 could be used to grow iris if I need the space. I have several iris areas that may cover about 2 acres all together. I have several mass planting of older iris(Quaker Lady, New Snow, Wabash, Shah Jehan, Cardinal, Indian Chief). I started with iris 5 years ago and am just now getting enough material to arrange it into different gardens. Lee Mincy

@erasmus_gwrasm, I think the reason most seem to be not interested in many roses is because no one knows about them. Thanks for showing some of yours! I especially like Hbelle. Is she healthy in your garden! I grow multiple Marforiejorie Fair and love her. I wish I sill had my pics to show Christian J (lost to RRD) along with Setina.Cl. Clotilde Soupert was killed back for the first time so no new pics of her. There are just so many roses I love and hope folks dont mind my mentioning them without photos to back them up. Some of my other unsung heroes are Paul Jerabek, Tooth Fairy, Dream Land Greetings,, Peggy M and ese;pecially Emma June. ... Ill try to add pics of her...CHARInG Charming!!! Also loving Martine Guillot! and Katherine Zeimet. Gold Blush and especially Lemon Zen!!! Great rose!

@forever_a_newbie_VA8 @Alfie Summer’s Romance, in all day sun, my third year, first spring flush, had bloooms in clusters of 10 all over…. just need to find all photos…. very showy! She probably is my most bloomy rose of 140 bushes! So I have 2. She gets big-5 ft. I pruned her back a foot but she’s shooting up again. She’d probably have 100+ blooms if I let her get bigger! I have tons of photos….for many Kordes….kinda busy…..maybe more later… Pomponella grows tall & wide… can climb…. hundreds & hundreds of blooms! Beverly, I have 2! She’s also a blooming fav of mine! Fragrant & big beautiful saucer blooms! Lots of blooms in flushes all summer. One Bevery in all day sun grows 5 ft, dead-headed-pruned her back a foot, now 5 1/2 feet again! She gets huge, too! My other Beverly is in morning sun-younger-smaller first season. Bliss is an amazing rose-easy growing big rose, beautiful bloomer! ! I have really good soil-replenished organic soil & manure yearly. I use organic fertilizers Rose Tone & fish fertilizers monthly so I get maximimum growth & bloomers, too, out of all my roses!

Thank you very much Moses for such kind words. I actually always make notes of what roses do well in your garden because I think we have very similar disease pressure. I think my issues with Quicksilver are possibly due to regional variations on blackspot strains. I am always reminded of this issue when I remember that Vapor’s Dark Desire defoliates with blackspot and mine is pristine all season long even in some shade. I have recently moved two of my quicksilvers to a prominent almost all day sunny spot to see if that improves it otherwise I am like you and simply don’t tolerate terrible blackspotters anymore. I am sure I already mentioned it in another thread but the rose Vulcano that palatine sells is the healthiest variety I have added to my garden in a couple of years. The blooms also have a rich deep pink/orange tone and not just red orange like their picture shows. The color is similar to Benjamin Britten. The plant does not sprawl.
