The Impressionist-first bloom

The first bloom on my 2 foot tall Impressionist really surprised me, because it is a good size. Most of my first year roses have small blooms. It also has a lovely scent. To have a whole column of blooms from this climber will really be something.

Oh how pretty!! That does look like a large bloom for such a small plant. I think great things are coming!!

Thanks all. It does look promising. I agree, from the photos it looks like it has similar coloring to Samaritan. There are comments on HMF that the Impressionist doesn't rebloom that well, but with blooms this nice, I will be happy even if it it only has one flush.

The bloom was still looking nice as of yesterday, but we've had a few days in a row of 104 degree Fahrenheit heat and today it looks rather spent. Apparently, my Impressionist rose found a friend (not). I took his photo before I encouraged him to leave. They can jump incredibly far! May the grasshopper go find some grass, not my roses.

That is a huge hopper! Looks like he needed an umbrella - we seldom see them here and the ones that we do are much smaller.

It does look like an umbrella :) He hopped in the direction of my lime tree, so he is okay there.

I can't believe grasshoppers can get that big!!!! Ugh!!! That would really freak me out. Blech.
