flower of the Day -Roses

I love roses, despite their fussiness.  (Yes I have to constantly pluck worms and funky looking leaves off of them, if you have helpful tips, please send along)
I have 7 rose bushes, 4 of which I have posted pictures for your viewing pleasure.

This is Chicago Peace, above is the bud and below is the open flower 2 days later?

I particularly like this Stripey one called Rainbow Niagara. Above is the bud and below the open flower (next day) this one can get alot more stripey…not sure why this one is light on stripes.

This Lavender one has a really beautiful scent. “Blue Moon” hybrid tea rose.

And the last bud of the day is “Solitude”.  I should have a photo of it open tomorrow or the next day.
