Rose "Dainty Bess"Family: Rosaceae Genus: Rosa Cultivar: Dainty Bess
Hybridized by Archer; Year of Registration or Introduction: 1925
This photo was not taken during this week of ice and very cold weather, but during "rose season" this past summer. I've had this rose bush in my garden for almost 20 years. "Dainty Bess" is a Hybrid Tea Rose and is "single," in that it does not have multiple layers of petals. It has a faint but sweet perfume and is one of my favorites.

Hi Pat, George grows Hybrid Tea roses and we have over 33 different varieties in our yard. However, I've never seen this one. Quite unique!!!
Thanks for sharing.

This is the first time I've seen a single rose. Thanks for sharing such wonderful flowers from your garden.

Lovely flower...
Greetings from Portugal!
You have captured the tender pink blush on the petals very well. Oh, for roses again. They will come, but not soon enough.
We moved this year and I may not be able to put in new roses this spring, so much to do. I hope I do, but the planting preparation is a lot since we have to dig up lawn to do it.
This is a beauty :)
This is beautiful - so dainty and delicate looking!
Your photo of it is excellent!
I love this delicate pink rose! I cut my bushes back last week and am missing my roses already. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,

i love the way the ruffling of the petals, and the stamens etc cast shadows, giving additional depth to your photo!

thanks for sharing!!
