This is why I love this rose so much! Beautiful shots Sara.

Nice shots Sara! That is slow! Slow opening rose blooms make me edgy so I avoid them...lol

"Edgy"? What do you mean Jim?

My deer love this rose as much as I do. They ate my very first flush this year and it was a brand new bush too and had tons of buds. I could have shot every last deer if I had a gun. I did get to cut several on the next flush but seem to take forever for mine too but good gravy when it starts opening its gorgeous. Judy

LOL! I understand now Jim. Down here in South Florida she doesn't take that long to open but she holds her own for quite a bit.

Thanks everyone! Judy, I hope the deer quit bothering yours! Jim, it is frustrating, I agree. This time of year I guess it's to be expected though.

That's amazing Sara.
