Looks great! Only one bloom? Or is there more buds that haven't opened yet?

There is only one bloom! I'm sure there will be more later on. It hasn't been a heavy bloomer for me so far, seems to put all its energy in a few big blooms.

Gorgeous bloom!

Great color! Why aren't you a fan? It looks like an amazing rose?

Thank you. If it looked like this bloom every time I would love it. Sometimes the color is garish and just not that attractive, at least according to my tastes. It has a great fragrance all the time though.

Is it unusual for a Kordes rose to have that kind of winter dieback?

Thanks for commenting on the color.

And thank you Iris. Yes, you are right about Kordes roses, that is unusual.

Wow! That is hot!

You took the words right out of my mouth, Seil ! Or, right off my keyboard.

I like it, Sara-Ann.

Thank you Seil and Jo.
