I understand how you feel--it is so exciting-----I used to have BdeC------it bloomed very early and perfumed the whole yard-----Your roses look so healthy----

Enjoy the rest of the blooms.

It's so exciting when the garden is about to bloom. Looks like you are in for a lot of beauty. Please post again when they all bloom. Would love to see it all in full swing.

A very lovely beginning for you. Also hope you'll post again when those buds have exploded into gorgeous flowers. I'd love to see Autumn Damask again. It's a gloriously historic rose that unfortunately didn't thrive in my hot location.

So there was a tie for second place between Autumn Sunset and Autumn Damask!
