The "Rose Year" begins

The "rose year" begins a bit late this year, with one of my German seedlings offering the first open bloom.  The lateness means that blooms will span approximately 6 months in my garden, but I'll take whatever I can get.  There's a photo of the pretty bloom below, as well as a background photo of its immediate surroundings.

You might be wondering why I call this rose bush one of my "German" seedlings.  You might also be curious about all the taller roses which I have also grown from seed.  What about the interesting "ground cover".  And, is that a suspended CD in the first photo ?  For some answers, my friends, please continue reading my blog.
