KBW's Comments: Though the season is almost over in Canada but you can see the size of bloom. It's still extra large, around 5". This is the difference that conducive weather can make to a rose. Please also note the shade which in the cool climate of Canada is dark maroon while in Lahore and Mardan, it is bright scarlet.
