Carey's Rose

Our dear friend, Carey, had a flower arrangement sent to Diana on Diana's birthday last January. Included in the arrangement was a rose that could be planted. So we did, and the rose (just like Carey) has bloomed beautifully all summer and into the fall. When it opens full, it is an apricot color, but the buds show a bit redder color.

Yesterday afternoon, the fall light was so wonderful that I was able to get this picture - what beauty surrounds us!
