[Hardy-l] A Lovely Surprise!

[Betty Cortus]

Thank you for this Kathie, how right you are.  I am no  
horticulturist, but had to really admire this  exceptionally  
beautiful rose.  It is starting to wilt now in our current hot  
weather, but I'll see if we can send a photo to the list when it's  
blooming at its best.
