I have that one too JoAnn. It will be three this year so I am expecting some nice blooms. The green one in the pic Victor was new this year and came with a bud on it. I will snip this bloom off and let it bloom naturally now. Had to get a look you know how that goes. 'Hope' I planted last year and has returned twice as large. Second try for this one in a different location that it evidently likes. Those roses by your sitting wall are very nice and tempt me. I have pulled out lots of roses here. The addition of the winter moth caterpillars added to the already long list of bugs and blackspot made the plants more of a mess for longer than they looked decent. Love the flowers but the plants just look crummy unless you are willing to put down chems and I am not. Life is too short to put up with an ugly plant when another will do better, jmho.
Here is another new echie that came with a bud. It has already been snipped off. 'Tangerine Dream'.
