Photo taken in my garden in Melbourne, Australia, today (last day of spring, 2011). Terrific little rose this one, especially when formed in the heat, which brings out these stronger colours. Can also have a really good fragrance, but that is very hit and miss in my experience. When it is really there, though, it is fantastic. EDIT: I picked this rose and put it in a vase immediately after taking the photo and it's now 5 days later and it has held its form well in the vase and has not opened out fully yet, which is much better than I was expecting. (Some very well known HT's open out in less than 24 hours, if picked at the same stage.)
