According to the calendar it isn't Spring yet.
Tell that to my roses!
They have really enjoyed the rain and the cool one day and warm the next day weather!
This is the hybrid tea rose Double Delight.
From bud to full bloom.
At full bloom the flower is a good 5 inches across.
"Lemon ice dipped in strawberry sauce" is one of the ways it has been described.
It also has a wonderful scent.
Thank you to Mary for being our hostess for Mosaic Monday.
Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled week!
Look at those beautiful blossoms! So early and yet so lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow, lucky you to have blooms so early! Your roses are gorgeous. Beautiful photos and mosaic. Have a great week!
ReplyDelete"lemon ice dipped in strawberry sauce" is a perfect, beautiful description of this rose!! I can't believe that they are blooming already but given the crazy winter we've had...not too surprising I guess. No matter -- it is lovely to see roses so soon in the year!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos...so clear and perfect! This rose is exquisite! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy out there, isn't it? My lavender is beginning to bloom and the trees are budding. My roses are surely next! ::Jill
ReplyDeleteThat is one gorgeous rose. I love the lemony yellow with the strawberry glazed edges. Thank you for sharing your roses with us!
ReplyDeleteI won't tell them if you won't tell them it's only February 26! Oh, but what a blessing and eye candy to have them blooming now!
ReplyDeleteWow it's beautiful!

Seriously, you really have gorgeous blooms like this already? Oh am I longing to see my first rose. It will be a while yet. Daffodils are coming up. Will be happy to see them bloom.

What a perfect description! Absolutely a beautiful rose! I keep checking mine but nothing is happening yet, thank goodness. It appears we will be getting a bit of snow later on this week : (
ReplyDeleteAs you know from visiting my blogs, Double Delight is my all-time favorite rose in the world. I can't wait 'til ours blooms here ---probably in May.. Gorgeous pictures.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,

We've had a mild winter also. A lot of blooms are very confused. Love your photos of the beautiful rose, such a pretty blush of pink.
ReplyDeletePerfect description of your roses. "Lemon ice dipped in strawberry sauce" - well said.
ReplyDeleteLove the ombre combination.
What a great description - "lemon dipped in strawberry ice." Love it! And it's such a gorgeous rose. We have months yet before we see any sign of roses. I'm glad I can enjoy yours!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing rose! The colors are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful roses (despite it being a strange time of year for them to be blooming!!). Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful roses!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these adorable pictures!
A nice week for you!

Wow! Such beautiful pictures and roses! Now, how do you place such huge pictures on your blog? Even why select 'very big' they turn out small. Maybe you were an earlier blogger than I was (2010)and maybe something changed after that.
ReplyDeleteVitamins for the heart, those pictures.
Happy day!

Gorgeous rose! I know how confused the flowers are here...daffodils are coming up and I had a crocus bloom the other day! Have a grand week! Cathy
ReplyDelete"Double Delight" is the perfect name for this beautiful rose. Your photography is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteStunning blooms. I love that description :)
ReplyDeleteI think its just been crazy weather all over the US. I hope this does not mean an early, HOT summer! Beautiful roses! I can almost smell them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rose! The seasons are crazy this year and we had snow yesterday - my poor primulas!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I'm hoping my rose manages to live from the goat pruning last summer and weird winter weather.
ReplyDeletewow, this rose is a winner and a half. How lovely. xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteHello Snap, thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods. A beautiful rose and great photography here. You folks have sun a lot longer than we do. Our son lives near Austin and his growing season is a lot longer than ours. Love that description too.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
Lovely roses. I have a rose bush that has two colors like that but of course, it won't bloom for several months yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, BEAUTIFUL, the roses are, as well as your wonderful images! have a great week~
