"Vick's Caprice"

At home in the rose garden.

This rose is supposed to have some stripes, but mine rarely do and I
often wonder if it has reverted to the original which often happens
with "sports"... its a finicky plant and I often have to strip the
whole bush of balled blooms... unfortunately it has a prime spot
along the main pathway to the gazebo. This year it has behaved
and produced a lovely crop of blooms, one which is seen here on
a day that we had rain overnight. An oldie from the USA, 1891.

Clearly it likes plenty of rain (as you had in winter) I like it without its stripes :)
