Orchid Masterpiece  rose photo courtesy of member ThomasR
Photo Id: 336910

Grafted, planted during summer 2019, wihch was very hot in the South of France. First blooming.
The flowers show three different shapes depending on their stage of blooming, this picture shows the first and the last one :
first a "classic" rose shape, then an intermediate shape and finally a kind of chrysanthemum shape, when the bloom is drying. In that last phase, the flower is still of visual interest, and do not look like it is rottening.
a-carl76's picture made me purchase that rose. It shows the middle phase of the blooming, which is the most beautiful and strange, but also its unique color : an optical pink which, at this stage, seems to be a mix of mauve and orange(my picutres do not show that ).
The smell is weird too, but I wouldn't call it a fragrance yet ; branches are frail ; I'll see next year !
