'Mary Rose' - David Austin English Rose
As I was on my way out the door this morning, I was overjoyed to find the first bloom of the year in my rose garden. ‘Mary Rose’ a David Austin introduction is often said to be the first rose to bloom. I can now confirm that the rumors are true.
What a great way to start the weekend!
