                      Over the years I have noticed that some years the roses are just so-so, but other years they are spectacular. I am not sure as to what turns them on, but this is a spectacular year for sure. Our weather turned very warm, 90s F and they are popping open like popcorn in the popper.

                            I have a collection of old fashioned roses and modern roses and the old fashioned ones usually get their share of Black Spot, etc every year. But this year, for some reason, I have zero Black Spot on any of the roses. I'm not complaining but it does seem strange.:scratch::snorky:

                              Sheal,
                              I am sorry I do not know the variety as the tag is long gone. Whatever it is it certainly is prolific as I had a difficult time selecting which blossom to photograph.
