Chihuly ~ Rosebud in the rain

This gorgeous rose is named for the famous Pacific Northwest glass artist, Dale Chihuly. What a delightful splash of colour in my garden and the raindrops just added to this vision.
CHIHULY FLORIBUNDA ROSE

As the sun hits the opening petals, they blush from subtly-striped apricot yellow to dazzling orange & deep red…producing a remarkable display against the deep dark green leaves & mahogany-red new growth.
