My Absolute Favorite Rose!

This is the first rose on my Double Delight Rose Bush; I have been waiting for it to open. It has the most delightful fragrance and it is so pretty. Therefore, it is a "Double Delight". 

My garden got my attention this morning....mostly "grunt" work, like pulling weeds, deadheading and editing. I suppose most of the "editing" is necessary because I seldom go to the nursery without finding something I can't live without. My bad!!     Things have gotten a little too crowded because some things won't behave and stay where I put them. My new rule is: "if it spreads, don't buy it". I may have had that rule before yesterday, but I had to have a plant that attracts hummingbirds.....and it does spread.....but I was promised that it would clump and not go too far.

Enjoy your weekend, I have to go, I hear a flicker at my feeder.  I am back to add a couple extra photos. I want your opinion if it isn't too much trouble. I added one shot that is SOC of the rose and another after I picked it and put it in a vase. Which do you like best? I liked this one, but SOC seems the best if it is nice.....and back lighted is nice too. Just curious, if you have time to look. Thanks.
