I think my gardens are in or near full bloom right now. Some are a little behind - like Sexy Rexy and Keepsake, but all in all it's quite spectacular.
First two pics are the North Garden - about 70 bushes. Last pic on the right is the South Garden - about 110 bushes. The North Garden gets a bit more sun so it's 4-5 days ahead of the South. Both have never looked better.
Planted "CI Don Juan": Dark red. Red filaments. Strong fragrance. 30 to 35 petals. Average diameter 5". Very large, full (26-40 petals), cupped-to-flat bloom form. Blooms in flushes throughout the season. Ovoid buds.
