Sundowner rose
The rain has been wreaking havoc on the rose bushes, but a couple of dry-ish days allowed a few flowers to open to their potential magnificence—just to get rained on yet again. In the brief window of opportunity that a break in the wet allowed, I went outside and caught this beautiful apricot Sundowner rose, with such an appropriate name.

Hi Sara,
Thank you for your information, but according to Natural Resources Conservation Service of USDA, the last name is Lamprocapnos.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Have a nice day.
Lovely rose. I like the drops on the petals.
Wow that is gorgeous!! Love the water on it too. Happy Sunday!
