First up is Double Delight. This is the color the blooms turn after they've been exposed to the sun for a couple of days.
Next up is Belinda's Dream. My sister, Susie, thinks this is the perfect rose form. If you like this hybrid tea look, then I can't recommend Belinda's Dream enough. It looks like a hybrid tea and grows like a shrub rose.. Sorry about the water damage on this bloom - you should have seen it yesterday before the rains.
This last is yet another Abraham Darby bloom. I love these huge, many-petalled blossoms. Sometimes they have a more symmetrical look than this.

I like the tone of Abraham Darby Bloom...... cheers! ~ bangchik
Belinda's Dream is blooming in my garden. I found a single Sweet William in the same shade of pink to transplant near her.
I agree with your sister about the form. 'Grandma's Yellow Rose' has about the same form, in yellow.
I've looked at Grandma's Yellow rose (or "Nacogdoches.") The only reason I haven't purchased it yet is I've heard it has no smell and I already have two other yellow roses - Golden Celebration and Julia Child.
