Looks like it's kissed with lipstick!

Seil - Now that you said that, that's exactly what it looks like! I recall once my sister-in-law described one of my Double Delight blooms that way.

That is very pretty!

Nice rose!

Thank you Boncrow and Frenchcuffs.

Very pretty!!! I thought that Sheila's Perfume has orange in it. Guess I was wrong. :) I REALLY like the colors on this rose. Awesome!!!

Carol - You're not wrong, as you can see the coloring is not always the same. This picture was taken last July.

Now that's the Sheila's Perfume I know, Sara-Ann. Beautiful!

What an interesting and beautiful rose. :)

I had one for about 3 years and only had 1 bloom that was beautiful, like yours. Do you routinely get blooms of that quality?

Thank you musaboru, Carol and kentucky_rose. I planted mine last year and most of the time the blooms are nice. I'll show a couple of pics from last year. I think these were both taken in September of '13.

The color on mine really can vary, I don't know if it is characteristic or not.

Those are very nice, too.

Yes, aren't they! I really like it without the orange. The pink and the white are very stunning together. Mmmmmm!
