Rosa x malyi - I choose this rose on account of its flowers, with their candy-apple petals, white interiors, and bumble-bee yellow stamens. Rosa x malyi flowers in mid-May, just as spring is driving its hardest back-to-life bargain. This isn't a subtle rose; though it's a one-act show, the smiles it brings are worth everything.
