Every Rose Has Its Thorns

This is my first time growing roses and I'm quickly rewarded with a rose in a matter of weeks! It has not been an easy journey for this rose though. It had to cope with aphids, scales and black spots since I got the plant from Richard's dad. I've sprayed it several times with EcoOil and I hope it will grow to a healthy plant eventually. Right now, I will just enjoy this pretty bloom...
