We are five miles from coast in south O.C. Would you please make a guess on when you think these buds will be in their glory. Most of my bushes are at this stage. Party plans await!
TIA so very much!!

RE: Timing Blooms ? So. Ca. Rosarians

I'm in Northern Cal. I have had some bloom already and many more are also at this stage. Mine take about 1-3 weeks from this stage. It seems to depend on how long they will eventually last on the bush. For example, I have had a dozen blooms this size on my Pope John for over a week. But PJP takes LONG to open and even LONGER to last on the bush. If you know they will last on the bush for a long time, I would plan 3 weeks for my party. If they are not as long lasting, I would plan 10 - 14 days.

I'm fairly new at this, but I scrutinize my babies very well.
