The two open blooms are Rosa 'Radrazz' (Knock Out (tm) Shrub Rose, Cherry Red Knock Out (tm)) The bud is from the Rosa 'Oklahoma' bush. None of them are very fragrant, maybe because of the recent freezing temperatures. But that certainly didn't stop them from blooming. The Knock Out rose has many more buds yet to open.

December Roses Oh that's nice.. It's nice to see what the rest of the world has when we are hibernating. Just keep them coming and I will keep dreaming. Thanks, Barb in cold Pa.
Nice! I noticed out in my garden yesterday, peeking thru the snow, was one of my miniature Roses blooming! Tough things those Roses!
Thanks all, I love the color too and it looks better in person than in the photo. Netty, I have a yellow mini-rose that has two buds almost ready to bloom, last winter it bloomed all winter long and had one open bloom in the snow we had in Feb.
I cut 6 more buds this morning from both bushes. Additional Dec. Roses ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) And the Rosa 'Oklahoma' bud in the first photo has started opening up nicely... Opening Bud ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden )
