    The two pictures I added on 7/26 don't do this rose any justice. The rose had already started to fade with our sun/heat & then we had a quick thunderstorm downpour that beat up the bloom. The night before, when I saw the bloom originally, the center of the bloom was a deep magenta that practically glowed in the dark and the outer petals were a slightly lighter shade. A truly spectacular rose. Smells good too. Slightly sweet. Got this as a bareroot rose spring 2013, so let's see how it overwinters.
