"lemon ice dipped in strawberry sauce" is a perfect, beautiful description of this rose!! I can't believe that they are blooming already but given the crazy winter we've had...not too surprising I guess. No matter -- it is lovely to see roses so soon in the year!
Seriously, you really have gorgeous blooms like this already? Oh am I longing to see my first rose. It will be a while yet. Daffodils are coming up. Will be happy to see them bloom. Hugs, Jann
What a perfect description! Absolutely a beautiful rose! I keep checking mine but nothing is happening yet, thank goodness. It appears we will be getting a bit of snow later on this week : (
As you know from visiting my blogs, Double Delight is my all-time favorite rose in the world. I can't wait 'til ours blooms here ---probably in May.. Gorgeous pictures. Hugs, Betsy
What a great description - "lemon dipped in strawberry ice." Love it! And it's such a gorgeous rose. We have months yet before we see any sign of roses. I'm glad I can enjoy yours!
Wow! Such beautiful pictures and roses! Now, how do you place such huge pictures on your blog? Even why select 'very big' they turn out small. Maybe you were an earlier blogger than I was (2010)and maybe something changed after that. Vitamins for the heart, those pictures. Happy day! Jacoba
Hello Snap, thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods. A beautiful rose and great photography here. You folks have sun a lot longer than we do. Our son lives near Austin and his growing season is a lot longer than ours. Love that description too. QMM
Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL, the roses are, as well as your wonderful images! have a great week~

At full bloom the flower is a good 5 inches across.

"Lemon ice dipped in strawberry sauce" is one of the ways it has been described. It also has a wonderful scent.

It's crazy out there, isn't it? My lavender is beginning to bloom and the trees are budding. My roses are surely next! ::Jill

That is one gorgeous rose. I love the lemony yellow with the strawberry glazed edges. Thank you for sharing your roses with us!

We've had a mild winter also. A lot of blooms are very confused. Love your photos of the beautiful rose, such a pretty blush of pink.

Love the ombre combination.

Gorgeous rose! I know how confused the flowers are here...daffodils are coming up and I had a crocus bloom the other day! Have a grand week! Cathy

"Double Delight" is the perfect name for this beautiful rose. Your photography is spectacular!
February 27, 2012 at 6:54 AM
Stunning blooms. I love that description :)

I think its just been crazy weather all over the US. I hope this does not mean an early, HOT summer! Beautiful roses! I can almost smell them!
February 27, 2012 at 7:59 AM
What a beautiful rose! The seasons are crazy this year and we had snow yesterday - my poor primulas!
February 27, 2012 at 9:11 AM
Absolutely beautiful! I'm hoping my rose manages to live from the goat pruning last summer and weird winter weather.

wow, this rose is a winner and a half. How lovely. xox Corrine
