Your Granada (Hey, Daniel!) looks EXACTLY like mine. I guess that is

The blending of the colors makes me not really see pink, if that makes
sense.

I see what you mean. Having looked at the photos, I hope my Granada
develops along those lines. I've bought it in our autumn (Sth
hemisphere) so I'll pamper it through to winter and give it a
springboard for next season.

Interestingly there are a lot of rose bushes on sale at the larger
cheaper department stores - not old stock, they've come in 1 month
before winter! The latest retail theory seems to be that they can sell
these because:

(a) They are in flower - some of them anyway; and
(b) They're promoting autumn (fall) planting as a way of giving the
roses a head start for next spring.

Indirectly I am using Granada and St Swithun (a newish Austin) to test
that theory. I'll compare performance next spring with any bare roots I
order in winter.
