We have 57 different hybrid tea and grandiflora roses in our yard, and there is something we like about each and every one of them. But if I had to pick one all-time favorite rose (I'm glad I really don't have to do that) I would pick Double Delight. It's a delight both for its beautiful color and delightful fragrance.
This picture was taken last week.

I'm sure Betsy is delighted with this rose too! Gorgeous shading on the petals.
It truly is lovely and I can only imagine how wonderful it smells. I know you invest a lot of labor and love into your yard. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Double Delight is so beautiful and your shot of these two buds is particularly good!
You take such good care of your beautiful roses!
so it is not a double delight it is a 57 delight... wow... that is a lot of different types. that rose with the water droplets is fantastic.
This looks so delicious to me. Beautiful!
Hi George, Oh my... you sure good at gardening. All your roses are really gorgeous and unique. Love the elegant colour.
Have a nice day.
That is so beautiful! Picking your favorite rose would be like picking your favorite child. Right??? Ok, maybe not so much.
Have a great day!
When it comes to roses you definitely have a 'rose' thumb. This one is truly stunning.
It is gorgeous. For me to choose a favourite of the roses you show would be impossible.
You live in Alice in Wonderland's dream!
Fotos maravilhosas de rosas que tão bem retratadas para nós apreciarmos. É didicil a escolha, tais são as cambiantes da sua beleza. Parabéns George!
Um abraço,

Hi George! That's a fantastic picture. I saw your post on fb but didn't have time to comment as the wifi here is sketchy from G-burg. Beautiful - but makes me tired to think of having to tend to them all right now. smile. You and Betsy do a great job making the glade a prettier place.
Your yard must smell amazing. My fave today is the header!!
Ooooooh... another one that looks like it's lit from the inside!
I'm with you on double delight. We were just looking at Roses at a fabulous Nursery and I was telling Bob about Double delight---yum yum it smells so good.. MB
I've always enjoyed things that smell nice. If this flower smells as good as it looks, it is very appropriately named!
Gorgeous rose, your photo is lovely!
It sure is a beauty! That's a lot of roses George.I wouldn't be able to decide which one was my favorite either.
That is a breathtaking flower. Love the vividness of the colors George.
Wow, that's an exceptional rose!
Do you really have 57 varieties or is that your Heinz-variety estimate? ;-)
Hi George, What a beauty! We used to have a big bed of hybrid teas and grandiflora roses and Double Delight was one of my all time favorites. We miss our roses. I am so glad that you enjoy them so much. It is so nice to be able to see photos of some of our favorites. Thank you!

beautiful flowers with nice colors
thanks
Double Delight it is..
it's beauty- one of its kind :)
Crimson is looking fabulous
Youre a proper Harry Wheatcroft.
It is sheer perfection to look at - - now if we could figure a way to send the fragrance over the blog . . .
Outstanding photo George! What a gorgeous rose! Your garden must look heavenly when the roses bloom, but I have a feeling with all the other beautiful flowers you and Betsy tend to, your garden would look that way at any time of the growing season. Have a great day :)
