Wishing you a Happy New Year, I learn so much from all of you in this precious forum!

Wanted to share a few remaining blooms on New year day. I am very impressed with Perfume Factory (bareroot Spring 23'), spotless in San Jose, good fragrance, blooms with "strong neck", and is the only rose still with a spray of healthy blooms on New Year day when all other roses had either stopped blooming or had rotten blooms after 2 weeks of intermittent rain.

Sweet Madame Blue is short and healthy, still has one healthy bloom although tends to have nodding blooms, and has some rust currently, but no PM nor BS all year.

Augusta Louise still has one small bloom, but has rust (you can notice in the photo).

My favorite, Double Delight, lost most of the blooms in the rain, caught PM and rust, but still has a few half-open blooms remaining with strong fragrance in Winter:)
