Three phases of a Rose, in one photo

[Siwsan]

I love this Rose. It is right outside of my front door.

1. I love your photo, my dear Siwsan!

It's stunning, esp. as it shows all three phases of the rose's life.

And what a lovely pink it is.

3. And it will keep blooming until a hard frost hits

Being close to the house helps protect it a bit longer than some of the other plants.

2. Lovely!

I had them outside my door too, but gave up after squirrels did them in repeatedly.

5. Like three generations in one family!

Very cool, very beautiful!
