Hi guys,

Is it just me or is waiting for the first bloom from newly planted
bareroots an exciting experience? I have been waiting
about 3 days for
my Moonshadow to open up. I hope it will open up soon!

It's not just you. I tend to gasp when something new shows
up for the first
time. One of my cuttings of Baby Faurax just bloomed last
week; this is
actually the first time I'd see the rose in Real Life, so it was fun.

This week Darlow's Enigma, Gloire de Dijon and Oakington
Ruby put forth
first blooms. The other week it was Purezza. All
surprising and delightful,
well worth the wait.


Glad to hear other people wait just like I do to see first blooms!
Sounds like you have some nice roses!

Here is a pic taken this morning :

Nice healthy foliage!

Thanks!

Emil
