As usual I have too much in my head, and too little time. But I wanted to share a couple pictures of my very favourite rose I’m growing. It looks blah when still a bud:

But it’s pretty wow when open:

I just love this colour! And it smells lovely and sweet, like rose candy. Damn, now I want some Persian sweets…

Both blooms, with my paw in for size comparison. They are pretty big, considering the entire rose bush doesn’t even come to my knee! I really thought I’d lost this one over the last winter, so I’m glad she’s back.
