Few photos taken today morning.... temp today is not too hot (like 102*F).
Though the bloom size is smaller (3" as compared to 5" in spring), it was so refreshing to see and sniff this bloom of Frederic Mistral. Growing in a 14" pot.
First bloom on a cutting of La France that was planted in mid February this year. Not a bad performance in 4 months. In Islamabad, own root cuttings grow real fast and become a full size bush in 1 year or little more. Fragrance is nice but the shade is a bit different. More a peach than the soft pink that it is supposed to be.
best regards
