Rose Bloom in central CT

I still have rose blooms!

As expected, most are near the driveway, but I also have a nice bloom of VH in the back yard rose bed. This photo was taken about 4 hours ago.

    That's beautiful! Enjoy it! We won't have many more that's for sure, lol. Mine are pretty much done except for a few tight buds that will never have a chance to open. Highs in the mid-thirties this week and snow coming!

    Gorgeous red rose. Here's hoping winter comes and goes quickly.

    Tell me about this rose- Do you have other reds and how is it different?

    VH has excellent size and exhibition form--great for rose shows.

    Marilyn Wellan is another excellent red, but it blooms very early in the season, while VH blooms late. This is very important for rose exhibitors bringing roses to Spring shows.

    Grande Amore has plenty of blooms and excellent disease resistance, but the blooms are small and young plants have blooms with a color fault (white line).

    Chrysler Imperial and Mister Lincoln have great fragrance.

    Opening Night is the red to get if you like open blooms.
