Yes, I love that dark-red color. Your CLIMBING Crimson glory produce many times more blooms than my tiny own-root crimson glory hybrid tea. I love climbers, after seeing over 100 buds on my Crown Princess Magareta this week. Own-root roses are expensive, like $20 to $40 each, but climbers produce more blooms, so they are worth the money. I like Austin roes since some Austins have climber genetics, which mean deeper roots and are bigger after my zone 5a winter .. some of my hybrid teas are at my ankle today May 23, since winter killed to the crown, leaving behind a tiny root.

Yes,rose juice!It's delicious.All you need is scented red rose petals,lemons,sugar,water and a big jar.You leave it in a warm spot for 5-7 days and stir it daily.I don't know the exact quantities,as my aunt is the one who has the recipe,but it makes a nice fruity juice.

Lemons, sugar, big jar, warm spot...... Perhaps a tiny bit of yeast and it is sounding very much like the wine I made in my youth. I'll bet your Aunt calls it Rosé.
Thank you Perpetua.

You're welcome!I don't drink wine,so I have no idea if the taste is similar,but the juice is very sweet and also safe for kids to drink.Definitely no yeast,but a powder called lemon salt?I hope it's the right term in English.Just googled it:citric acid.
