28 Feb a best rose

For a best rose, for a large flower it has to be open to a certain degree, showing a nice form but not completely open. With the floribunda, you have to see stamens which have to be fresh and not touched by bees. You can tell if petals have been removed – I can tell! If there’s a vase of 3 to 5 blooms they have to be even and at the same stage.
