I won't see the Madame bloom here for another 3+ months, so thank you for the reminder of what awaits, lol

I second Sheila's comments.

Thanks for the gorgeous pics, Jeri - I have a small ML in my pot ghetto. I got it last year from RVR. It has rained here tremendously for the past 6 weeks - including somewhere between 2 and 3 inches in the past 48 hours. I just ran out to look at it. It had mostly just been sitting there, in its one gallon (clay) pot where I put it after I got the rooted cutting. It has tiny new growth all over itself now - roses really do like rain! Of course, it's pot is up on feet, or it would have drowned. We are told to expect another even stronger rain storm this coming Sun and Mon - it is too bad that we cannot move that rain around when we have had enough.

Anyway, your pics are so exciting - I cannot wait to see what my baby ML does this coming Spring.

She is endlessly entertaining. :-)

That’s a lot of variation! My little plant of ML has had only a few blooms. I moved her to the ground this past fall and look forward to the show!

What a chameleon! She definitely is changeable but a real looker in all forms.
