Beautiful bloom, I liked Brides Dream very much when I grew it years ago. I’ve thought about either growing it or Royal Highness again. I’d only attempt Royal Highness because our sprays are so much more effective, that rose attracts every form of pestilence.

I just saw this mentioned in the thread about Large Blooms and remembered seeing this post. What a gorgeous opening bud. Eye-candy for a rainy day! : ))

Thank you, I love this rose at its best. Vaporvac, I have to mention that my daughter is in Ohio this week, according to my son-in-law she’s enamored with the beautiful countryside, and having a great time.

That's great S-A? I wonder where she is exactly? I hope it's not raining or too humid. I loved the low humidity in OK, but visitors from CO found it humid! I guess it's just a matter of comparison! We are very green around here with weedy growth.

Vaporvac, I believe she’s in Norwalk, which is in North Central Ohio. I think the weather is nice there today. She’s been busy while she’s there, but I’m sure she will tell me all about it when she gets home.
