The Pegged Rose Blooms



Photographed June 15, and a success.

I hoped the rose would send up flowering shoots all along the length of the pegged branches. The more vigorous shoots are towards the base of the plant. The shoots further along the stem are weaker. We’ll see if they gain momentum. It would be nice if they bloomed later and extended first flowering cycle for a couple weeks.

On the other hand, we could have pushed this rose too far.

This is indeed the loveliest this rose has ever been ... Thank you Tyler! I am confident we will see zillions of robust blooms into October.
