This rose bush had been the leader earlier in the spring when the bushes were all leafing out from the hard prune. It flourished, it had lots of canes with buds on it... it looked like it was going to be the first rose to bloom for me.
Then it got chomped. It probably took the hardest hit of all the roses in the sheer amount of what got eaten, because it had leafed out so well so fast.
It got chomped a second time a while later after trying to recover. But, it has finally gotten to a point where I hope it's safe, and three buds have started to open. This is the farthest along.
I love the deep red of this rose. This rose is why I only got one red for the front yard, which made it all the more dismaying when it got chomped, because it looked like I wouldn't get any red roses this spring. But I'm wrong, and it just took a little longer than I thought.
I unfortunately don't know the name of this rose, and I'm not sure I'll ever figure it out. It's a very tall bush, though, which is why it's got that nickname. This is what it looked like last year: tall red rose.

Since I'm planning to dig up two of the five roses in this cluster and move them to the front yard, I thought I'd get a last look at the area. I am going to miss them in their old spot. I like the roses here. But in the long run, this area will get changed, and in order to keep some of the roses they need to be moved. Might as well do that now while I'm getting the front bed all pretty.

This is the rose that went into shock when I transplanted it. Yay, it's recovered and it's even growing! The morning light was hitting the new red growth so nicely, I had to grab the camera.

This is the rose that went into the deepest shock when I transplanted it. Happily, it is now blooming! The first three flowers have opened and there are more buds to come. :) It was so sad when I moved it, because it was blooming then and had lots of buds, and they all immediately died and I had to chop them off.
I love the red on this rose.
