Sherry, in person the seedling of Red that I just posted the other day is much much darker, her lower skirt is almost red.

Thanks everyone! I do have high hopes for this one. I just got my first trailing report on her and am eager to see how she progresses as she matures in the South.

Do you have a pic Sherry of the dark rose color? I can't figure out if it is the water that changes mine at home to that orangy color or if it is the weather here. And it is not a true orange, I wonder what the official name of that color it. My Big Yella used to turn the real orange and they are not even in the same ball park as to color.

Here is Ruthie this morning at 7 Am so no sun out yet to illuminate her. Though she looks great with the stand of Tropicanna and the Trumpeter tree rose, but she sure is about to clash big time with the real pink hydrangea hedge behind her. Can you see the true pink peeking thru? Yikes!!
