I never expect much from the first blooms of any rose, I'm more than pleased with this first bloom of ABRAHAM DARBY!

Sara Ann,

Beautiful!

I am new to roses. What sorts of abnormalities are there with first blooms? I bought some roses this year and one has a very off color, making me wonder if it is the right rose. Another had a much smaller and shorter lasting than the bloom on identical plant. So I was wondering what sort of variations there are with first blooms.

Thanks!

Thank you everyone! Mmmm12, blooms from newly planted roses generally look okay, but occasionally might be a little smaller than normal and have fewer petals, also might depend on where you live too. Sultry, yes I'm in love!
