Here's the lovely Candice which I got about six weeks ago. She was a very small, wet ball of dirt and soggy leaves but she bounced back quickly. She was just planted in the ground last week and is doing great.

9/19 - First day bloom

9/20 - early morning

9/20 - late afternoon

I just deadheaded the bloom above this morning. We've had some 95+ degree temps the last few days so this is a long lasting rose. Fragrance was a little weak but all my roses are that way at the moment, I believe it's from a lack of humidity.

Just a note to say that my customer service experience with Ludwig's wasn't the best, so be forewarned that you might have a problem or two. I'm not sure I would order from them again but I did eventually receive a wonderful rose.

Thank you to every one who recommended Candice!
