First bloom

SouthCountryGuy Zone 4b-5 SE BC
9 years ago

I will admit I am an absolute newbie to roses but thanks to you folks I pushed through and ordered. From the one rose last year (Morden Sunrise) that addicted me I now have a mere 40 and this is the first to bloom out of the new batch.

Meet 'Penelope'

I know you all have seen her before but I am so thrilled I had to share!
