Rose of the Month #10
By Gaird Hamilton
Behold

Once again it is time to pick a rose for Rose of the Month for January and it has been raining most every day lately. Turning to the method which I used last January when I found a blooming “Gemini”, today I went out on the deck and found a miniature rose called “Behold” in full bloom and looking just great. This is not a first time for “Behold” to look great as it is a fast repeating bloomer during the regular bloom season, but this is above and beyond what can be expected. My photo washed out the yellow a bit, but “Behold” is a bright unfading yellow which is cheery to look upon.
