I am unable to lift my jaw... :o ...these are just AWESOME..!!!!
Now I am confused ...if the plants I am growing are actually roses...
One lesson learned, for a good blooming, the bush must be pruned hard before the season...

SIr, they prune them in first week of January. Hard pruned to the extent that only 6-8 inch of wood is left, no leaves. However these roses are old, i suppose atleast 10-15 years old.

Rio Samba.but many roses change the color with passage of time like Paradise,Nancy Regan,Double Delight.Specially Reds & whites.The Florist roses are specially bred for cut flower industry & they do not change their colors.
