Linda,

>I have an Erfurt and just love it.  The blossoms are gorgeous and good
size.

That is reassuring - i have only seen Erfurt pictured in books
but it looked like a winner to me.  What is its habit like?
I think it will be at the top of my list for next spring.

I hadn't even thought of a dark red like mahogany - thank you.
I really like blue-gray - and i think it could set things off,
but my wife is getting tired of blue-gray.  Brown is
definitely out - O.U.T.
I'm not big on pink roses - they strike me as ordinary.
But,  context is important.  Maybe mahogany backdrops
wd change my opinion.
