My first bud is just now starting to form on CT. I can hardly wait! It bloomed last year, and the color was unbelievable. But I'm hoping for blooms that are more full this year, that look more like yours, Jeri.

EDIT: That reminds me, I need to make a new tag for Clara, as she's no longer "angry", lol.

We've had such a cold spring, she's taking forever to open, but I' think I'm gonna like her a lot.

My kind of rose ! I'm surprised more people haven't commented on it's beauty. Reminds me a lot of my climbing crimson glory.

Well, I love the color, and that bloom opens flat and HUGE. It's gonna be a winner!
