Romance - the word brings roses to your mind, doen't it? Red roses?
In my garden I have only a few roses that are red. It's not that I don't like red roses, there are just colours that I like even better. However, there are a few red ones among all the other.
Santana is a climbing rose that doesn't grow very tall. It blooms all summer and the flowers are big and beautiful - almost like velvet in texture.
The last red one for today, is a rose that I like a lot. It's a good bloomer and the red roses with a spot of white in the middle are quite beautiful. It's called Gloire des Rosomanes or Jupiter's Lightning or Ragged Robin or Red Robin. Lots of names for a lovely rose....
Wishing you all a Happy Valentine Day! /Katarina

Adelaide Hoodless is a Canadian rose, bred in Morden, Manitoba, I believe; named after the woman who started the international movement known as Womens Institute. Her homestead in ONtario is a museum; you can read about it at http://www.hoodlesshomestead.ca. (that's your weird bit of trivia for today...:-) Happy Valentine's day, Katarina, your roses are perfect!
I loved your red roses-a perfect idea for Valentine's Day. The only red rose I grow is called William Shakespeare and it is glorious.
My favorite red roses in my garden are Class of '76, Oklahoma, and Don Juan. I love Christian Dior also, but it is a slow bloomer. They are all long stemmed and great for cutting.
