Thank you - it's my first attempt and I am thrilled. I took another photo
today because the rose has now fully opened. I haven't been able to get
close enough to smell it, are these fragrant at all?

I can't wait to see this in full bloom, there are just a ton of buds!


It has a light, rosy fragrance to my nose. And a neat history as the
very first patented rose, introduced in 1930, if I recall correctly.
This site is great, be sure to clicl on all the tabs around the top to
see all the pictures and such.

Note that the site says it "can be pruned to maintain a short habit"
but goes on to say that New Dawn "blooms on old wood." The
latter means, yes, you CAN prune it but be prepared to get NO
blooms the next year if you overdo it. What I do is try to shape
while I deadhead, if you see what I mean.
