Butterfly Rose April 28, 2019

The nickname of this rose is The Butterfly Rose because the flowers open dark pink, then fade to orange, then pale pink.  The effect is that three different-colored flowers appear on the same shrub at the same time.  Since it is springtime, there are so many buds on the plant that they open all at the same time.  That is why they are all dark pink this morning.  Look at Climbing Pinkie in the background.  What a lovely sight.
