Oh I like, I like very much!! I have a few roses in bloom at the moment but the only one I remember the name of is my Iceberg. Your Cardinal de Richelieau is lovely Droopy but my favourite just has to be tht beautiful white one with the pink centre.
What a nice posting, Droopy. I REALLY liked the Edith Piaf touch...very nice. I just listened and hummed-along as I looked at your pikkies.
That second foto was so perplexing--it is either a small rose or a VERY large bumblebee.
You have a good collection of very different roses. I wouldn't call your collection "small" though--I have one rose...that's what I call a "small collection". Ha ha ha
Just teasing.
As I said, they are all different and have individual qualities.
The "Cardinal de Richelieu" brought back some memories.
--A few years ago when I was looking for one rose that I could place in my flower garden, I went as far afield as GB and whilst strolling around the grounds of Peter Beals, I cupped the Cardinal de Richelieu and very strongly considered it. I almost got it that gorgeous thing.
The "newly opened Vicarage Rose" is quite something to behold. It is very delicate-looking.
Thanks for an unusual posting with delightful acoustics and varied roses--It spoke strongly to my romantic side.

Those white ones are tough as nails and can live just about everywhere. They're a very old type.
