George Burns is one of my favorites. It was named after the comedien in celebration of his 100th birthday. While it does have a heavenly fragrance, it's thorns pack a not so funny bite!
"George Burns"
Highly fragrant and a nice grower. Lovely orange petals.
"Climbing Westerland"
Highly fragrant and spectacular bloomer!
"New Day"

~  Oklahoma ~ Pink Peace ~ ~ Love's Promise ~ Secret ~
This is my best bloomer so far. Generous amounts of lovely cream petals blushing pink, with a strong fragrance.  I LOVE it and it will be a welcome addition to my summer garden.
"Double Delight"
Trumpeter is a liberal floribunda bloomer with a gorgeous bright red "geranium" color. It looks lovely in front of my blue and white columbines.
This striped "climber" is quite fragrant! Profuse floribunda bloomer but seems very reluctant to climb. This is my mom's favorite although I wish I had planted it as a bush not a climber.
"Trumpeter"
"Climbing Berries and Cream"
I love it!  A highly photogenic color changing grandiflora rose. Gorgeous, but not very fragrant. It is said it packs a mild apple frangrance, but I can't smell anything. Opens to a soft orange hue and it's worth having just to see the beautiful buds.
"About Face"
A great bloomer on deep green foliage that even puts up with the relentless winds we have had this year.
"Sun Flare"
Gorgeous picture perfect budding stage that lasts forever. Deeper pink color with white/cream reverse on very strong, upright stems perfect for cutting. This is a lovely hybrid tea I will not be without next year.
"Snowfire"
Vigrous bloomer with stunning deep red velvet blooms that "glow" in the sunlight! I wish I lived in a Zone 6 so it could climb all over my porch year after year. Sigh.
"Climbing Don Juan"
I was beginning to think that Oklahoma hated Montana but it's going strong now. Huge blooms of  deep red color combined with a strong ROSE fragrance makes it a must for all rose gardens. It is spectacular!
"Oklahoma"
Snowfire in full bloom. I could look at this beauty all day long. Definitely one of my favorite hybrid teas.

Very fragrant, GORGEOUS pink color, perfect hybrid tea budding stage. Definitely worth waiting for!
"Pink Peace"
As one would expect from a rose promising love, this one was both short lived and a bit of a disappointment. ;o)  Lovely current red color though.  My dogs have crushed it to teh ground on several occasions now and still it continues to make a come back. Perhaps it should be renamed as Love Enduring.
"Love's Promise"
It took forever for  Secret to reveal itself, but my god it was worth waiting for! It is stunning, fragrant and will be in my garden next year. It rivals Double Delight!
"Secret"
