I have decided to not spray, and I will more than likely lose Distant Drums. Prairie Star was a challeng even when I sprayed regularly. I have 5 or 6 of them. They are over 5 feet tall, but are black spot magnets. I have about 20 Buck roses, and my best are: Golden Unicorn, Earth Song, Quietness. Others only second year ones that seem good are Prairie Breeze, Prairie Haervest, Pearlie Mae. Country Dancer and Simon Estes are only this year and seem ok, but I haven't challenged the black spot yet. Simon Estes comes from Country Dancer, and they look alike. Honey Sweet is beautiful, but needs to be sprayed. Prairie Sunset is so pretty, but seems a little delicate. I bought a couple last year and this year. Square Dancer and Splendora are new to me this year. Serendipity seems a little vulnerable to black spot. So does Cadenza. Gentle Persuasion seems to be a good rose. Sammy

You have nice clear pics but I'm not familar with all of the names. The ones I think you can rule out as belonging to the pics follow. Here is a link (daves garden) where you can see pics of most. There's an alphabet --- many pages to each letter! It's not the fastest site on iris. Another site is: http://www.bluejiris.com/ has color categories for faster searching.

That works out to a little over 5 drinks a person. That sounds about right. Are you also planning on some type of non-alcoholic drinks as well? If so, I would think that you have plenty.

The description is in Portuguese, which I used to understand, but it looks like this was from the international country dancing competition in Nashville, 2007. What a talented youngster and a very entertaining routine!
