My father was a noted rosarian. Roses bloomed wherever he lived. I have not had much success with them. I had heard that Austrian Copper roses required little care and were almost impossible to kill. I bought two bushes several years ago which I have been caring for and watering, and which seem to be thriving. Two weeks ago, everyone else's Austrian Copper roses burst forth. My bushes had no blooms. I have been watching them anxiously as the buds began to swell. Still, no blooms. Today, I looked out the window and the entire bush had sprung into color. They were waiting for my father's touch. Happy Father's day, Papa.
