In what way not what you were expecting - colour?
Sharlene

Beautiful. It does get varying colors to it. I like it when it's in this hot magenta stage.

Sharlene, yes the color, I was expecting more purple, and I will probably see that eventually. Beth, I was just looking on HMF and I saw a lovely picture of yours that showed more purple. I am liking it more than I did at first though.

That color is gorgeous though. Love it!!

Oh that's a nice color!!!! I got rid of this rose, because I hated the chalky white on the blooms; but yours doesn't seem to have that. Much better than mine!

Thank you Judy and Carol. Mine is kind of speckled looking, doesn't bother me that much though. Here's the same bloom this morning, I like this a lot!

I like it too! Definitely a bit more purple;)

Ooooh!!!! That's a gorgeous bloom!!!!

Thanks again! Today I was imagining several of these beauties at once, that would be so lovely!
