Congratulations! I agree that Golden Masterpiece is immensely photogenic. I didn't know anyone still grew Sterling Silver - always good to hear of the success of another good smeller.
I'm still waiting for the first rose. Baronne Prevost, Mons. Tillier, and Tess of the d'Ubervilles all are showing buds. And have been for a week. Or two. Hermosa is further behind. Most of the other hundred or so are still weeks from buds. I think it's warmer there than here. We have yet to break 80F.
