| This is my Double Delight Rose. I bought her along with a John F. Kennedy and a Mr. Lincoln. Go figure she was the first to have a bloom along with the two males. ;)
I couldn't contain my excitement so here she is. Her name shall be Aphrodite. (Excuse the corniness.)

| Wait! She is even prettier as she ages. (Unfortunately, I can't claim the same!) |

| Congratulations! And you know what? The thrill of that first bloom happens every year! |

| That IS nice!! I bought one this year, but I don't think it likes the cool rainy weather here. I had one bloom that was bull headed. The foliage is gross (and I never have foliage disease here) and the growth is wimpy and scraggly. So far not impressed. LOL I think I had better stick with the newer better performing roses for here. Yours is lovely, and I can only imagine the wonderful fragrance. Carol :) |
