I've long admired this one. Are you saying it is a reluctant bloomer?

Thanks Kate! No, it doesn't seem stingy, it's just the first bloom that's looked good, weird spring!

I bought 3 bands this year. How big is yours? Is it a grafted one? A pretty yellow!

That's a pretty shade of yellow Sara!!

I just got this rose and it's a blooming machine! It was so healthy and full of buds that I couldn't pass it up. I don't care for yellows in the garden but the old fashioned flower form appeals to me and it has a wonderful medium sent. Its so healthy and is reaching for the sky so it looks like it'll get real tall. He earned a place in my small garden. I'll post some photos tomorrow.

Love that color!!! And it's a blooming machine? Sounds awesome!
