I know it's crazy, but the fat squirrel ate the evidence before I had a chance to photograph it. I was watering the garden and the squirrel dashed from the bed in which this mystery rose was blooming. He sat on a rock thirty feet from me. He stared at me for a full minute, still munching away.

When I got to the rose in question, I noticed that the two ivory colored blossoms with orange stamens were conspicuously absent. Both blossoms had five petals and were maybe 2.5 inches across on this young band shipped as an unlabeled mystery rose from Rogue Valley Roses. I was hoping to confirm that it is Mrs Oakley Fisher, even though I thought the flowers were not yellow enough to be that rose.

Anyone wish to hazard a guess ?... It may be a year before I get photos.
When you dance with nature, try not to step on her toes.
