My bare root from J&P has begun to bloom. Absolutely incredible rose
with an amazing fragrance. Only drawback I've seen so far is that the
blooms don't last very long when cut. This won't be a concern to me
next year when both of my DDs hopefully hit full stride. I just want
the blooms to last a little longer when they are still few and far
between. *smile*

I'm almost finished with the website reconstruction. Hopefully, I'll
get the rose section finished over the weekend. Once that's done, I'll
post the URL so you can see this beautiful rose.
