Gorgeous rose!

I received this last fall and planted it in a large container. This spring and summer it has florished and almost been non-stop blooming. The fragrance is beautiful, but it's the blooms that surprised me: they go through such a stunning change of colors from when they open until they go over. I didn't expect this rose to become a favorite, but it absolutely is!

Distant Drums!

Wow! I am blown away by the beauty of my first bloom on the heirloom rose I just planted in a pot 2 weeks ago! All of the roots that I have ordered arrived in pristine condition. This one is the first to flower for me. I'm anxiously awaiting the other 3 to show off like this one!! Distant Drums is a beauty!
