one more rose

Here's one more rose that I just had to post. This is another one whose name I do not know. We rustled it from a neighbor's yard after she moved away and left it. (We just took a part of it - not the whole thing). You can't really tell from the picture but the petals have a velvet like texture. And the flower is so big and heavy that unfortunately the weight causes the canes to bend over so that the flowers seem to usually be facing the ground. This rose is very fragrant also. Tricia and I are partial to plants with fragrance.

This was a good year for roses in north Texas. All our established roses have had a lot of blossoms and they are still blooming. Even the ones we planted this winter have bloomed well.
