I should have taken a picture. We have 2 large plants with 20 or 30 flowers on each. 6 days ago when they bloomed they looked great, today all but a few are wilted.

At my house in Punta Banda. Here are a few wider angle shots of whole plant as requested by Woody. Also one showing the Mexican Prim Roses bordering my patio.

The fruits on those are really good. My two plants have approximately zero blooms although I've let them run along a fence. Wonder if they prefer to be compact?

found this in the yard this morning while looking at the Coronado Islands!

Nice. Didn't know the white blossoms had narrower petals than the red ones.
