Duchesse de Brabant

 A pink tea rose, reported to be Theodore Roosevelt's favorite rose. It has multiple names to it, but this is the one that I bought it as. I have only had it since September 2020. It did get through the 2 week period in February that we got to around zero or a little below. It also has a white sport, mutation, called Madame Joseph Schwartz. Duchesse de Brabant does like to be watered well, so plant it in an easy place to get the hose to. For more information on Duchesse de Brabant:

Moonlight in Paris

 This is a rose that is growing at my work. It has only been there for a little more than a year. This spring's bloom was better than the plant's blooming was last year.  I think that it is due to it still being young in the ground and should get better and more consistent with age, hopefully.

Munstead Wood

 Bred by David Austin. Predominantly purple in color, but it can red out as well. It is fragrant. The Portland rose garden in Oregon has a bed of it along a walk way. That is where I am most familiar with it. I am growing it at work, but it has only been there since this year. Time will show what it will do. For more information:

At Last

 This rose is currently at my work. It is healthy and reblooms pretty regularly. Helpmefind.com lists the color as apricot, but to me it looks more like a soft orange. The shape of the flowers I would call cupped. The growth seems to be more lax than upright. For more information:

Screaming Neon Red

Screaming Neon Red, bred by Ping Lim. I have only had this rose for about a month. It seems to start out a brighter red and then fade a little. I saw a bunch of these at a store and in mass they can be really bright. One in a garden it seems to be more agreeable than a mass. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on this rose, but for more information: https://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.76519.2

Oneto Home Saffron

Found Tea rose. I purchased it in 2017 at the Sacramento City Cemetery. For the two summers that I had it in Salem it stayed about a foot and a half tall. Unfortunately it did not survive the move from ground to pot. For more information on this rose:
