That bud is going to make one huge and beautiful bloom! I have this rose also and it really makes its presence known with its huge flowers, which are also fragrant. I recently bought a second one because I like it so much. The dark vase goes very well with your bloom.

Sweet! Hope you get a wind break soon.

Thank you Ingrid and hoovb. I don't think the winds will be quite as strong, we'll get a real break from them later in the week, hopefully. Ingrid, I remember being in total of awe of your Belinda's Dream, the blooms on it were fabulous. It is truly a good rose.

Looks great. Jealous that you have buds, none here yet.
