mystery garden rose

rose bud 1

This is another thing I found in my plot.

This rose was a tiny plant last spring when I got my new community plot. The leaves were so pretty, I let it grow. But sadly it had no flowers last year.

So this spring I decided to remove it. As I picked up my shovel I noticed - buds! Now I'm curious to see the flowers.

Maybe a beautiful old fashioned heirloom? Double blossoms and heavy scent? Light shell pink or deep magenta? Its probably an just an overgrown root stock.... We'll see...
mystery garden rose: Falstaff maybe?

What a delight for layout you have shared with us. I can't wait to see what that rose will be.
Enjoy your day in the garden as I know I will.

I've got a rose bush in my garden that has never flowered. Any idea why that might be ? It's in a sunny spot and there's lots of new growth each year but no flowers : (
