This photo includes a rose bud from my very favorite rose, a climber named Alchymist (the original spelling, now you see it as "Alchemist.") It is very fragrant, with old fashioned blossoms which are usually in the apricot/salmon/peach range. One Mother's day, my 7 foot bush was so laden with blossoms and buds, I counted them; I stopped at 145, having included only those buds that had opened enough to see the color of the petals. Here is link to info on this wonderful rose: Alchymist Rose source
Now here is this week's hexi sitting upon an Alchymist bud:
