San Juan Capistrano, California -- August 26, 2011. Rose and some wildlife (which I didn't see until the picture was blown up). Both the rose and this little guy are really tiny.
San Juan Capistrano, California -- March 27, 2010. Unlike nearly every other cluster flowered rose, this one opens the blooms at bottom of the cluster first and then works its way up. I wish all roses did this -- it makes for a very nice effect.
