Cool! I'm impatiently waiting for my roses to get blooming too... If it would just stop raining!!! Be sure to show us the open blooms!!

I am too. Love love love buds!! Charles is new to me this year so can't wait to see it bloom. I absolutely love Teasing Ga. It's a bloom machine.

Prettypetals, CRM is new for me as well. I have it in a pot and it has a lot of buds, but this is the only one showing color at the moment. I'm dying for more.

Teasing Georgia was an own root from Austin last year and it put out two pitiful blooms. It is still young so I'm hoping for a bit more this year but not expecting a heck of a lot.

I'll post a pic of that bloom but its on my phone. Ill be back to edit this post in a minute.

Oh my. Worth the wait. The Austins seem to take a long time to settlle in here. Really eager to see Charles Rennie ......... post lots please.

That's just gorgeous Carolina girl!!!

I'm not familiar with Charles so I can't wait to see your beautiful photos!

Tg is just the best , I always look forward to the spring flush!!

Getting closer on TG .....

Jeepers, its creeping along.... <tapping foot>

Charles Rennie looks the same.

my Kordes Blush has a couple of buds. Here's one.

And the new growth on Blush is so pretty and shiny! It looks like I polished each leaf.

And, then there's Blue Girl.... she put out one bloom. I might kick her to the curb. She is 6 feet tall in her pot but she struts around nekkid in front of the other plants and they don't like it.

'Blue Girl' has no shame!

At 7:30am

And just now in the sun

And shaded

I stuck my nose in and it smells very light but good.

Sigh. :) So lovely to see your blooms!!

Wow. I've always admired this rose and your pictures are reawakenin' the old lust for it.

Fully opened today :)

Love it! Neat to see the whole progression. Thank you. Lisa

Update on CRM: squeeee

every cane tip has a bud or multiple buds!

This bud has been gnawed on by something

I've always wanted to try Charles too!!! I especially love the lst pic in your 2nd post!!!
