This sounds really nice. I also read Julie (Unique Too)'s post, and this
surprises me, as she is also in Florida and I thought most variations like
this had to do with climate. What part of FL are you in?


I'm in Atlanta, GA. I was in Florida on business a few weeks ago,
and drove so that I could hit some nurseries while I was there.

The Double Delight was grown by Weeks and purchased in a 3-gal
container from a nursery in Rockledge, FL. One bloom had already
opened, and a second opened while I had the plant in my hotel room.

I also picked up one of my two Kentucky Derbys on that trip, from a
nursery just off of I-95, and a Heritage at a nursery in St.
Augustine. The first Derby bloom is now open. Absolutely gorgeous,
classic red bloom on a nice bushy plant, but alas only a mild
fragrance. Bummer.

Next rose buying trip = Ashdown...
