Great Maiden's Blush

Great Maiden's Blush Alba rose.
My first bloom of this type! Supposedly the rose was introduced around 1550! I have two of them in a shady part of my front yard right next to the house. They don't look like normal roses... the leaves and thorns and buds are different. The buds look like someone ate the top part off and it took a very long time for the bud to open... But then it blooms and it's gorgeous and you realize it's normal for that plant. It's charming! I'm so glad I got it.
