They may be the last of the season, but a fine crop indeed. The Scentimental name cracked me up…gotta love rose names. Matti

‘Scentimental’ has a wonderful fragrance. Unusual for a floribunda… You are right, they do have very odd names sometimes. Thanks for stopping by!

Your roses are gorgeous. I find that the ones in my garden are getting their second wind in our cooler fall weather and are coming on strong as the year winds down.

Oh I would just love to see that Julia Child for myself – so many love that variety though I don’t think it is suitable for our scottish climate.

Haven’t seen such roses in a while! Our corporate roses at my place of work are nice en masse but don’t have that sweet heavy lushness of yours. Maybe I should try a rose or two more in our protected garden area – they do seem to grow well here (if you can keep the critters off them!)
