Black Magic Rose

  It's time to devote a little time to my garden.  The weather has been beautiful the last few days- 60 degrees and sunshine. What more do you need in life!!
  Last summer Andy and I visited the Portland Rose Gardens. I took down names of  of the roses that "caught my eye".  One of them was called "Black Magic."  I have never been a red rose type person,  I swore I would never have a red rose in my rose garden, but this rose was such a deep red that I fell in love with it. A couple of months ago I ordered it from Jackson and Perkins and it came this week. This is it.  Not very "Black Magic" right now, but come June or July I will post the blooms.

Black Magic as a baby:)
 

 I am including a picture of my Perfect Moment Rose, it is just beginning to bud out and as always it's perfect.  The picture does not do the leaves justice, but it is lookin' good.

A perfect moment for a perfect rose.
