The coloring goes nicely with the rose behind it. I finally got an ID on that mystery rose that I started from a cutting from a friend's yard. I was down in southern CA this past weekend and visited the rose garden at the Huntington Library. Saw a rose very much like mine, and the name on that rose was Margo Koster. The owner of the original bush also asked a couple of rose experts that she knew, and the expert confirmed that it is a Margo Koster, circa 1931. I posted a photo of this rose in May, and it is still going strong in July. Here is the combo of the two in a vase. I grow cannas for one reason - the leaves make great greenery.
