My Beautiful Rose

I took these today before I cut it and brought it inside. I can't believe how fast it opened up. When I got home last night, it was a bud that wasn't even opened! It smells wonderful. It's name is Princess del Monaco. I would like to get more. There's a beautiful lilac one called Lagerfeld. Maybe one day I'll get brave and buy it. Roses are very picky and I consider myself lucky that I haven't killed it yet.

What a beautiful rose ............... wait until anna_66 sees that ....... she loves flowers ............ :)

Gorgeous, Valerie!! Even though it's down to 40 degrees at night here now, I still a have a few late bloomers! I picked one Aloha today; it's a beautiful deep pink and very fragrant! Even my antique Zephrine Drouhin has a few buds opening! Definitely get the Lagerfeld. It's lovely and you obviously have the knack!! In school (horticulture) they claimed it to be the first "blue" rose. Well, sort of!:D

I have two of the lagerfeld bushes and they are wonderful roses. The beetles love them too, so I spend lots of time spraying....

Breathtaking!!!:D

What a beautiful flower. Princess del Monaco is a fitting
name for such a gorgeous rose. I'd love to see the Lagerfeld.

What a beautiful rose........they are much hardier than you think.....and yes, they do need to be sprayed and fed.......but they are like animals - talk to them, feed them, praise them and they return the joy a thousand fold.

I have one I would like to share as soon as I can download it. It is called Just Joey and is one of my favorites.

In Calif. I will probably get one more set of blooms and then it is all over until next year.

Thanks for sharing your rose.

A rose garden is one of those things I want one day. Valerie, your rose is gorgeous!!!! :)

What a beautiful rose Valerie - thanks so much for sharing it with us
