Her blooms last a long time and show a lot of variability

A real beauty and healthy too

and of course my friend Mr. Murphy always follows me as I take photos hoping to get a belly rub

Mine is temporarily in a large pot. She blooms often, and I just love her.

It's obvious the handsome Mr. Murphy has a good life.

I'm surprised at the light pink shade of your rose. Mine in a previous garden was always much darker, probably due to lower humidity and higher temps. I quite like the paler version but I'm sure the one I ordered will be darker also in my hot garden. Thank you for posting all the lovely pictures of different roses. You must have quite a garden and we'd love to see more of the total picture.

Lovely! Mr. Murphy looks like a terrific companion in the garden.

Here's my tummy rubbing helper, Alistair, measuring the gigantic fungus at the foot of a white oak

LOVELY cat!

Shouldn't that be 'Mme Lambard'?

It SHOULD, shouldn't it?

If I am writing, or thinking of it for my own reference, I always think of it as "Lambard." But it is so commonly spelled (illogically, I think) as "Lombard" -- I am somewhat intimidated.

You are so lucky! My favorite rose and my favorite kind of cat.
