          Good morning all my rose friends,Jenny would it be at all possible to do a petal count of your beautiful rose as it would help me tremendously to know the exact amount of petals on a bloom in the I D process
          ;):ThankYou:

          That's an extremely interesting request Woo. I am on the case right now: How many petals has this rose got 9 Aug 2012 001.JPG

          I counted 25 plus five little petaloides in the centre around a crown of stamens. Classic rose perfume - a bit like grandma's apple pie#

                    Thank you for your research and possible conclusion. I have viewed several Googled piccies of it and the growth habit looks right. It is full of flowers again today, I will behappy to accept it as Dubin Bay,

                      This is the final Joie de Vivre rose. She has produced 9 blooms and is looking in good health with no blackspot. Rose and Mirabilis Jalapa 002.JPG
