A Flower for Today: a Rose
This rose is called Double Delight. The more sun it gets, the darker the red edges. I read that the unusual coloration was first seen as a flaw by the breeder. Not only is the bush healthy and vigorous, its scent is sweet, spicy, strong, and completely magnificent. This was taken in the rose garden in our other house, last June. I will just have to plant more roses.

Oh, Sara! Double Delight is my absolute favorite rose. From its varigated color to that unmistakable heady scent. You just made my day!
How pretty… love the bits of yellow in the center.
Wow if only I could flaw like this :0)
Just beautiful Sara…
One can never have enough roses. I completely agree that double delight is just that , hard to beat for scent or looks.
Allof mine are firstly chosen by nose, secondly for hardiness in a hot dry climate.
Sara: Beautiful colors on this neat Rose. You were certainly lucky to have grown this one.
This is a very beautiful rose and you got a beautiful photo of it! You should frame this one I think! ♥
How lucky you have this flower near you. It’s beautiful!
