Can anyone see this rose fully open?

What a beauty! Bought a 2 gallon container and had flowers the size of softballs the first year. Long straight stems make it one of my favorites for cutting (great combined with "Memorial Day" - Woo Woo!) Came out of a Detroit winter with flying colors (the site is sheltered by a west wall). Can't comment on disease or insect resistance - - Sprayed weekly with sulpher because we always have problems with mildew here (on everything!) and didn't have any problems. Still early in the season here, but so far she is full of vim, vigor and lots buds.

I will have to correct my previous statement on this rose that I made in April. I said it didn't bloom a lot but I must have been thinking about last year. I have moved all my roses and am fertilizing weekly and this rose has been blooming more than most of my hybrid teas. The bloom is large with many petals and has the coloring as stated. The disease resistance is good but I do spray weekly and don't give it a chance to mess up. The foliage is perticularly healthy and full on this rose bush. I can't be more pleased. Well, yes, it could have a scent which it does not.

nice blooms, good petal substance
bloom repeat average
blackspot resistance good so far
