Jim, that is the rose from last year's "Feed me, Seymour" photo. :-) Much tamer and restrained this year. It is a rebloomer, too. I also have a Tamora rose which is thornier than all get out and I wouldn't personally plant it again for that reason, but it does well in the heat and smells wonderful! Austin's U.S. business is based in Tyler, Texas--about 90 miles due east of me--so at least some of their roses are adapted to Southern heat.

This Dahlia is the only one of five planted that survived last Winter's snow. About a 2" bloom. Love that velvety color. Reinforces why I tolerate Texas Summer--so I can have Texas' Fall, Winter, and Spring!!
