Oregon, United States

I love exhibition and florist roses. Although I don't show at this time, I plan to begin within the next 2 - 3 years.
Some of the roses in my garden:
Big Purple
Black Baccara
Bride's Dream
Brocéliande®
Buxom Beauty
Dark Knight
Deja Blue
Electron
Fire 'n' Ice
Flamenco
Folklore
Fragrant Plum
Gemini
Henry Fonda
Hot Prince
Hot Princess
Koko Loko
Liz's Charm
Love
Mahona
Mavrik
Neil Diamond
Paradise
Sugar Moon
Speelwark (Kordes)
Stainless Steel
Sugar Moon
Sunny Sky (Kordes)
Twice in a Blue Moon
Twilight Zone
Wildfire

...and about a dozen that lost their tags and I don't remember their names.
Although I've raised roses for a long time, I don't know much. I'm not good at disease prevention, pruning and dead heading.
Ironically, I had better luck with my roses when I lived in Ventura, CA, only 800 ft. from the beach on Pierpont Bay. No blackspot, no mildew, and I had no idea that something called "canker" existed! When I moved back to Portland, OR, that all changed!
