Very pretty Rose ...

thank you Shirley! it has thorns and they're the same colour as the blooms... a lovely pink. this winter I promised it a cloche and some extra TLC.

Then I hope it rewards you with many more blooms!

thanks Shirley... I'm going to give it lots of TLC.

Or Phoenix!
Looks great Lori.

yes! Phoenix is even better, Thanks Stan. It must be a rambler as it put out very long "canes" the first couple of years. It was in a south facing corner so it didn't get good light in the afternoon... the rose chafers destroyed the blossoms and it seemed to go down from there... I lifted it and put it in a sunnier spot... but this spring with all the freeze/thaw/freeze going on, it looked like it was cooked. I gave it lots of water and told it..."you're on your own, kid." so Phoenix she is! these blooms are done and I've pruned her back to a 6 leaf. fingers crossed.
