June 25, in a fierce, humid heatwave. Coastal Southern California.
Buds all over it, and the cleanest foliage you ever did see. If you ever get a chance to get this lovely, fragrant little Paul Barden rose -- RUN AND GRAB!!!
(It smells just like its sibling -- 'Mel's Heritage'.
Still a young plant (year two) but beginning to gain steam. Blooms are more full and larger. The citrus fragrance is getting stronger as well.
No disease and blooming half shade.
