What a lovely rose! Right now my chinas all seem to be getting ready for winter and the only one blooming in that bed is Mr. Bluebird.

I love this, Jeri. My Cramoisi Superieur are blooming now too.

Since we never have a "real winter", this is China Paradise.

The new zone map says we are zone 10a now, and all of my chinas are still blooming, so I guess that is correct. Also we finally got 2 days of light rain, and then 24 hours of real steady rain, and lots of my roses are suddenly setting buds.

All-told -- the systems brought us 3/4-Inch of rain. Better'n a sharp stick in the eye, but not akk that notable. California weather force seems to suspect that our winter may be cold & DRY.
