The second on to bloom today, was quite a surprise. One of the Guernsey Creams I planted in the last month, barley 12" tall, I am really going to love this one, she and Niobe are on the same trellis together on an East facing fence.

Nice!

Thanks for sharing your first blooms. I also got a Guernsey Cream last spring as heard that it is one of the earliest bloomers for my area. We are having a cold, wet, late spring and it is just starting to show some growth.

Also love Niobe. Heck, I love them all!

I love them all too, mnwsgal, mine all look pretty sad plant wise this spring as we have had horrible high winds for a few weeks. but they are all just loaded with blooms, my Earnest Markham is just about to explode with blooms but the plant itself looks terrible. I hope they all recover soon.
