Isn't this rose GLORIOUS?
We have them in our front yard. Several are blooming now. I was afraid they'd be blown to bits by last night's Texas storm, but miraculously, they survived. I wish I knew the name of this rose - gonna do some Googling to see.

4. We purchased this bush a couple of years ago
And I can't remember the name of this rose. The plant is about 8' now - we really need to invest in a nice trellis for it!

I love snow, too - I lived in Kansas and Pennsylvania and still miss the snow (but not the ice!)

9. They're all so different!
Some come out mostly yellow with just a tinge of pink - others have this beautiful mixture of pink and yellow.

10. Is it a peace rose?
:shrug:

I had them a long time ago... but they always freeze out here. I've given up on roses. That one is spectacular!

14. Looks like a Peace Rose
Did you weather the storm okay? We got hail damage on one car...but it could have been much worse.

Here is a pic I took when I was South of Ft. Worth, for Easter....

16. It's beautiful.
It looks just like my Peace rose. My Chicago Peace is a little bit darker.
Peace is yellow & pink, Chicago Peace is yellow & orange. At least in my garden.
