It opened this far yesterday and hasn't budged. I'll keep taking pictures as it opens more fully.

It's nice when a rose opens up slowly, because they last a long time. Very pretty.

I think the cooler weather is keeping it from opening more quickly too. But I agree and I hop it holds the bloom well this summer.

I have to agree Hareball! Dare I say I am ticked pink!

does anyone have any thoughts on its ID?

A little more progress. It has a lovely shape!

Just wow :) Absolutely gorgeous! I'm going to go clean out Walmart after Mother's day hahaha! :D

I actually really like the way roses look when they are open to this point. To me this is what a rose looks like. :)

Me too! I love the spirally middle!

Wait until you see how full it gets when the spirals unfurl. You will love it.

It is surprising packed! I wasn't expecting such a full bloom.

Any thoughts on ID?

ut2ncThe first picture is the original rose in question. :D The second picture is of another mini I got from Walmart around the same time :)

They're beautiful! Did you notice a scent?

No not really. There are pink blooms on both plants now :) They're so pretty :) One of the smaller minis I got has two red blooms on it.
