Here is a picture of a mini rose sport that I found growing on a pink climbing mini rose. I took a cutting of the sport and now I have a whole new rose plant. Never did name it.

What is a sport ?
Let's say you have a yellow rose and you go out one day and among all the yellow blooms you see a red bloom. That is a sport. That is how a lot of today's roses come to be. Roses every now and then will throw out a completely different colored bloom.

@coco25 it even looks to be glowing
I guess that might be from the flash or the street light in the background...but whatever it is it sure is pretty! The first one that came out 2 nights ago had little tiny dew droplets on it so beautiful, I showed my son the picture tonight & he told me that it was fake hahaha he didn't believe me until I showed him the pic with my hand in front of the flower hahaha
