Hi Anna Mae and Claire,

 

I have Sparking Rose blooming right outside my back door. It is winding down but I have attached a pic. The checklist description says: SPARKING ROSE Hager, Ben Reg 1967 Sdlg SB-2 SIB (dip.) (38" 97 cm) M Rose mauve self; veined signal tip, flash of blus. Towanda Redflare X Eric the Red. Melrose Gardens 1968 HM 1969; JC 1969

 

 

Sparkling Rose 6-21-06

 

 

(Illini Charm is next to it and you may see some of that in the pic)
