Some of these are of the same flowers as last year.
It is amazing is how early everything is this year.
So, this is a record of spring 2012
The photo below is of my apple blossom rose.
This year, it did not die back very much, has grown larger than normal, and when the buds formed they seemed extra large. As they opened, they looked red. ???
The photo above is the surprise rose. It is much larger and cupped like a regular rose - it is just blown at the time of the photo. I have never had a red rose planted in that spot. I was afraid that the apple blossom rose had been taken over by a stronger plant, but now a week later, the left side of the bush is being to bloom with familiar small flat-faced pink blossoms.
I parted the 'bush' and it looks as though the red rose bush has come up immediately next to the pink rose bush. 2 for 1?
I still don't know how this happened, but every once in a while something unexpected happens in my garden. I love surprises!
This shows how the renegade rose & the apple blossom rose have intertwined. What fun!
