I just recently started to appreciate roses with a different color on the reverse. So far I only have Baronne Edmond de Rothschild, which shows this phenomenon, but it is quite striking, too. There is always one more fascinating rose to discover, isn't it?<br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-84925108764019783942011-11-18T16:42:07.861-08:002011-11-18T16:42:07.861-08:00You are right!

When I was telling my sister what colors I had painted, she said "oh, yeah - ketchup and mustard!" Really, the colors aren't that bright! I'd like to see this new rose, though.<br /><br />Landbohaven - Thanks for commenting.
