Crimson blooms in May (rose garden)

Choon's roses, crimson red, now bloom healthily after 2 months of care; deep fertilizing, liquid and pellet fertilizing, frequent pruning and sufficient watering daily.

In early April, it gave a good sign - a wonderful sight of two healthy succulent stems growing upright from the middle. Stood straight & tall. Gesture of confidence, perhaps? http://jaimeboey.blogspot.com/2009/04/burst-of-freshness.html

Further back a month ago, roses had thin stems with couple of brownish blooms, was given and destined to be transplanted into a terracota pot, 3x the size of its original white pot. http://jaimeboey.blogspot.com/2009/03/gardeners-itch.html

Well, it's a good start for month of May; starting with Labour's Day and Wesak day in the 2nd week. Almost everyone in the neighbourhood took long vacation, away from home.

I did some research, found close resemblance to Rosa 'Hope for Humanity' (Shrub Rose) - classified as a true red, the fragrant, ever-blooming, double, 1.5- to 2-inch fragrant, blood red blooms are quite outstanding. A smaller shrub of only 2-4 feet in size creates an ideal perennial garden or border use. Prefers full sun. http://www.alaskahardy.com/results.php?category=Rose
