Dawn's Favorite Roses

From a walk we took a week or two ago at the California State Capitol World Peace Garden (also):
Blueberry Hill -- Floribunda Rose
Intrigue -- Floribunda Rose
Angel Face -- Floribunda Rose
About Face -- Grandiflora Rose
Heirloom -- Hybrid Tea Rose
Brandy -- Hybrid Tea Rose
Purple Tiger -- Floribunda Rose
Irene Watts -- China Rose
Trivia: "New rose varieties, approved by the All-American Rose Selections, are showcased in the garden's test section. Visitors have the opportunity to see and smell these new roses before they are available to the general public. The World Peace Rose Garden is one of the few gardens in the U.S. selected for this honor."

I know next to nothing about roses but I'm enjoying learning about them.

UPDATE: New roses Dawn likes from our walk this late afternoon in the McKinley Rose Garden:
Olympiad--Hybrid Tea Rose
Perfect Moment--Hybrid Tea Rose
Polar Star (OK, this represents one I like)--Hybrid Tea Rose
Melody Perfume--Hybrid Tea Rose
Lucille Ball--Hybrid Tea Rose
Princess Marianna--Shrub
