First rose bloom of the year in the whole garden. Medium strength fragrance of myrrh & tea rose on a 4 inch flower. Leaves are prone to blackspot, but this is a tough plant that survives past neglect and drought conditions. The heavy clay soil & cool temperatures (60d/40n) contribute to the sumptuous colors.

The same flower the next day. The colors faded and the whole blossom shattered the day after. Approximately 5 days between unfurling bud to falling petals. Probably not a good candidate for cut flowers in a formal arrangement, but perfectly fine in a single bud vase. Not all our roses last like wax flowers — yet still bring joy nonetheless.
