| Dick Clark you've seen so next up is
Dainty Bess! Everyone needs this rose! So much grace and poetry in five tiny petals...
Dream Come True has large, petal packed blooms in a peachy yellow with a kiss of red on the edges. It's been very hardy in the pot so should do well in the ground. The leaves are very glossy and disease resistant.
And because I have two you get double the pleasure of Double Delight! An all time favorite of many people, it does black spot but I don't care. Look and these blooms! And they smell better than they look!

| Dainty Bess is so pretty. Even her stamens are cute. |

| Wow!! I love your DD!!!! Such drama!! Dream Come True - looks so interestingly beautiful!! How does it fade? - blotchy mess?? I really like yours!! Dainty Bess - if you just stare at the stamens/pistils it looks like a watercolor painting - surreal. Really wow!! Thanks for the beauty!!

| Stunning Double Delight! Usually I dislike this rose, because in Kansas sun, it blotches horribly and the shape is nowhere nice like yours (at least in the Powell public rose garden) it isn't.... Just breathtaking Seil! |

| Thanks Serena! DD doesn't always look that good. It is as well known for it's double centers as it is for it's beauty and fragrance. I often say it was named for that! |

I hope someone posts a better pic of this. I have yet to get a fully covered trellis.

| Dream Come True has not been very vigorous here; really, rather stingy with blooms. But it never took off the way it should have. A new bush might perform differently. |
