First one to bloom this year.

5 years ago

I always enjoy watching the contest among the roses to see who will bloom first. The award this year goes to Tamora. Only one bloom in my yard so far, but I am enjoying the anticipation. I am sure you all feel the same way in the Spring.

Lilyfinch,

Yes, I have 3 Tamora bushes and they are all in pots. Tamora did not do well in the rose beds because it was too small and the large bushes were shading it.

That's gorgeous! Thanks for sharing it with us. I'm still waiting on my official first -- I'm not counting the really odd misshapen blooms that Abe Darby put out following some cold weather. Ha ha!

First bloom this year was Mademoiselle Franziska Kruger. No proliferation this year and she gifted me with two blooms. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture. However, she has lots more blooms on her that should open in the next couple of weeks. This is the second year I have had her own her own root. She was much more apricot/peachy colored this year. I am sure the weather had something to do with that but she sure is a pretty rose!

Lots of other roses have big buds on them and should open next week. Keeping fingers crossed as the weather is supposed to be around 90 F for the remaining part of the week, which could ruin everything (again, like last year).

Borderer also has a couple of open blooms on him but again, no pictures yet. I will try to get some tomorrow.

Only other rose in bloom is a new one which is not an antique rose but a Dave Bang rose, Mango Blush. I do have a photo of that one. Very pretty rose but no scent at all, unfortunately. Very vigorous and disease free bush. I think this one is going to be a keeper.
