Worst time of he year for me!
I have a rose called "Promise", it is without a doubt the most
beautiful pink rose I have ever saw, it's color and texture is very feminine, the long stem bud,as the pink begins to show,is just as beautiful as th open rose. My 5 year old plant has 5 open and perhaps another 6 or eight ready. On my way back to the house, my Mr Lincoln has a 5" bloom, it is majestic, it is the epitome of what a rose should look like- - -could it be my fovorite? On the otherhand, as I passed a twenty feet fence that has two 4 year old "Don Juans" and perhaps 200 blooms, you could smell them two blocks away, the fragrance was almost heavenly. My two, 4 year old "Blaze" with their 10 feet canes are loaded with literaly a thousand buds, and have began to burst open on the tips of the canes- -they are not my favorite, they are family, I think. My two year old JFK has two of the whitest bloom I think I have ever seen,thoughit has a very beautiful bloom, I don't think it could ever be my favorite, to me it represent a tragic time, that I remember so very well. Oh, I forgot to mention "Oklahoma", like some from Oklahoma, it is a little slow this year- -but when it does come forth it will be dyno-mite. It's bloom is almost black- -when it blooms, I'll think it is my favorite, I'm sure. My two ladies of ladies "Queen Elizabeths" are about 50% of full bloom. Though they are beautiful, they could never be my favorite. They remind me of one of my grandmothers. She was the classiest lady I ever knew, but she was strict with children. Really, I think my choice will have to be the "Promise", maybe because I looked at it last- -what is your favorite rose, I'd like to know. Have a good day, Roger |
