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.
