"Angel Face"

..the rose. Our only rose in the yard.
This is her first year from bare root stock.
These are the second set of blooms since early summer.
The flowers are beautiful from bud until they are fully opened. Wonderful scent also.

It's our only rose too and fighting to survive - poor thing.

What a marvelous coincidence. I just posted about planting my first roses in 33 years. The last rose garden I had....the foundation rose was the Angel Face.

Lovely rose and worth trying to keep healthy. I remember planting crushed egg-shells and a small fish 10" away from the root-ball. Made a huge difference. Good luck.

Very pretty! I love the way the petals look like they're going to dance away!

This is my favorite rose - Linda Lou got the one from my Little House. She always lets me know when it's blooming. I keep meaning to get one in, now that I live in really rose-friendly Oregon - maybe this year will be the one.
