Happy accident

 This is a picture from a couple of roses that I grew in my Salem Oregon garden. I no longer have either rose. The rose in the front is Purple Tiger by Jack Christensen, introduced in 1991. The rose in background is Tricolore de Flandre, bred in 1844. It was by complete accident that these two roses were put next to each other. However the fact that Purple Tiger is a repeat blooming rose and Tricolore de Flandre is not it is nice that the stripes and purple are continued on. 

For more information on either rose you can go here:
