ZUZU,
Spellcaster looks like it fits it's name. Jubilee is exceptional too, the pink edge around plump yellow buds is gorgeous.
I hope as rose enthusiasts communicate, some rare ones will surface and circulate.
I don't need a lot, but feel the garden is always missing something. I had given up on a few roses and put them out of my mind. Do you know the old Aesop's fairy tale " The Fox and the Grapes" where he jumped with all his might but could not reach them, and walked away thinking they were probably sour anyway...
Reine des Feuilles swirled fluffy form appeals to me- nowhere to be found in the US and a once bloomer, it is sour grapes.
I gave Crested Moss to my busy son who went on vacation leaving the roses sitting in buckets, it perished right away. I kick myself for that one.
Over the years my desire changes, fragrance has become more important to me. I'm still looking for the perfect rose that I may never find, then again I might.
