Tom's Rose Garden

My first English Rose. I couldn't resist buying this rose when I discovered it on the back lot of a local nursery. In early September, it had four full, very fragrant, light pink blooms with six more buds ready to open. The look and smell of this repeating rose had me reneging on my "old garden roses only" rule.

Spring 1997

This rose has about ten buds on it, but I'm looking for it to really take off this summer. Unfortunately, it's already getting blackspot. It and Graham Thomas run neck and neck for second place in my garden's worst rose for blackspot competition (behind Dr. Huey).
