I had my landscaper plant 5 bare root roses from Heirloom Roses not even a month ago. I'm in zone 7. Gabriel Oak is the first to put out a nice size bud, with a few more in progress. I haven't bought bare root in many years and couldn't remember how they progressed so I'm super excited!

I had some concerns maybe they weren't planted as well as I expected but all seem to be fine so far and are getting adequate sun and water. All the others are leafing out and look healthy too so I expect the same from them shortly.

The ones I'm waiting on are Ebb Tide, Parfuma Angel, Papa Meilland and Lady of Shalott.

I moved last summer so I missed the peonies blooming at my new home. There's about 30 buds, it's a nice, mature, healthy peony.

Today I finally noticed some are starting to show their petals. To my eyes, I think they will be light pink. But I'm curious if anyone else shares the opinion. I'm so excited to see what this turns out to be!
