Good morning! I threw on my robe and Crocs this morning and dug it out (I thought) carefully. I took the whole thing including the surrounding soil and put it in a garbage bag and shoveled out a few leaves and flower petals in the area just to be safe. I was knotting the bag and it got me! You all were NOT kidding- I only barely got stung and it's a lingering stinging like a hornet. I'm sorry this is a repeat post, Granite. I wouldn't have known what to search for to even find the other thread but I am SO glad I posted. It sounds like you saved me and my small kids a TON of grief! The only thing I can figure is that it must have hitched a ride in the soil of my basil plant or strawberry plant I got from Lowe's. Thank you all so much for your help!

I think it's an African Daisy (Cape Marigold). It is beautiful too! Here is a link that might be useful: African Daisy

Thank you all for responding to my post! I appreciate all of your help with this rose bush. I do not think it is sexy rexy because I thought it might be that rose, so I ruled it out when I went to a rose show in my area today and saw sexy rexy. In fact, saw two of them and they were too light and too pink to match my rose. I do think this is a grandiflora rose since all roses are in a cluster. I am posting a couple more pictures of my rose to show how it looks when it starts to fade. (when it fades it turns more pink) I also did a petal count on one rose and count was 43. I also am thinking if it is not Camelot it could be Montezuma. I was looking in some old JP catalogs and saw Montezuma and looked very similar. Does anyone else have this rose or Camelot? I am leaning towards Camelot because the shape of the bush looks just like my mom's 50 yr old Queen Elizabeth. The leaves are very large and this bush is very disease resistant. Thanks again for all your help and I have enjoyed reading responses.

Put it down in the ground and it grows like crazy :) beautiful color!!!
