The Revenge of Griff's Red!

[leene_chan]

Actually, Griff's Red isn't the only rose in our garden that has drastically increased its petal count this year. Charlotte, Paul Ricault and Gallicandy look very different. Even though they don't take as long to mature as peonies, I guess you really have to have faith and wait for your roses to become fabulous! Griff's Red took three whole years to become beautiful, and we got him as a good-sized gallon in 2012.

I think that Felicite Parmentier is going to bloom soon. I am fascinated. She was so inert last year that I never thought she'd grow up to be a good girl.
