Don't you love the color?
It was raining today as I took these photos. I always knew I could grow roses! I am just sooooooo proud!

I think I'm in love!
My first ever rose bush has its first bloom! I've been like a new mother, checking it every day for aphids and spraying it if I see even one. As you can see, it is gorgeous! Here it is from a bud to a full blown flower. And as a bonus - it smells good. I take full credit!
My rose is "Tropicana." The label says "Very fragrant, coral-orange, flowers bloom above glossy, dark green foliage. Hybrid Tea Rose." I planted it this spring (early May) as a bare root plant.

Your "baby" is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing at MM> :)
It is a beautiful rose and such a pretty tangerine pink! Lovely!
That is a delicious color. I want some lipstick that color. I just purchased a knock-out rose this evening so that I might hope to grow a rose. They don't look as lovely as yours, but colorful. You should be proud!
So beautiful and thanks for popping in to see me.
be a sweetie,

It's a gorgeous rose! And I am sure it smells just heavenly! Stunning shots, so pretty.
I love the colour - and every rose should have a wonderful perfume, so I'm glad your Tropicana is scented.
It is a beauty! Well done.
What a gorgeous rose and to have a photograph with the raindrops is wonderful. Jackie in Surrey, UK
Congratulations, your first rose is truly a stunner, I can almost smell it's sweet perfume all the way over here in Normandy.
