Perfection! Looks like it doesn't have a blemish at all. We have thrips right now and lots of blooms are speckled. Lol. Judy

Thanks Judy! My perfect, or even almost perfect blooms are few and far between this season, I'm having a similar problem here with a lot of my roses, there are a few exceptions though.

Lovely!

Well done, marvelous photo.

Gorgeous bloom.

WOW!!!

Perfection!!

Very nice pic, Sara-Ann. Nice detail , nice color. I picked up one at Home Depot this spring. It has its first bud and I'm eagerly awaiting. I also got a Capt. Harry Stebbings last fall and it has a few buds coming on. In photos the two look very similar and both are supposed to be very fragrant. I hope to be able to compare head to head ( or bloom to bloom). Fragrance is very big for me.

Thank you everyone! Al, hope yours does good! I have two, it's a dependable rose for the most part. Would love for you to report on it and Capt. Harry Stebbings when they bloom. CHS is one I've considered before, but recently haven't seen or heard it mentioned anywhere.

Beautiful. You have really captured the true color. Wish we could smell it.

Thanks for sharing this beauty.

Thank you, Suebelle, it does have a wonderful fragrance.

Oh wow!!! The perfect bloom with my favorite color!! And, of course, let's not forget the fragrance (as you mentioned)!!! Well done!!
