HFF everyone. The first rose in the garden this year

A week or two later than last year but then winter did hang around much longer this year.
UPDATE; for those who asked what variety of rose this is, I had forgotten that I DID find out last year, just before I was struck down with Covid and I have tended to forget knowledge acquired just before then. The name of the rose is ALFRED SISLEY..

Still waiting for mine Andy. Not even in bud yet.
Thank you for this gorgeous rose picture.
I am recovering from the dreaded virus.
Thankfully fully vaccinated or could have been a lot worse.

Take care and have a great weekend.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Sorry to hear it but glad you're on the mend, Rosa!
I was surprised to see this rose as all the others are far from being in bud yet!
Many thanks and hope you recover fully very soon.

Eine wunderschöne Rose im leuchtenden Licht schenkst Du uns, Andy.
Wir haben das wärmste Frühjahr aller Zeiten. Und doch haben wir nachts noch 0 Grad C. Von Rosenbllüten keine Spur. Die Funkien kommen so langsam hervor.

Schöne Grüße und ein angenehmes Wochenende

Thank you, Erich!
Similar weather here now but up till last week, freezing nights, and wet and windy days. Not much liked by the spring plants so they stayed asleep for longer than usual and a I can't say I blamed them!

Jenny McIntyre ^club

It's a lovely looking rose. It looks like an old rose, not something that has been mixed with another rose. I would imagine it has a great scent.

2 years ago.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Jenny McIntyre ^club

Many thanks, Jenny!
One thing I was told that denotes an old rose is the deepness of green in the leaves. Not sure how true it is but I have certainly seen more old varieties with deep green leaves than not!
