This wild and windy weather is messing with my head and my garden.One minute the sun is out, next thing, it rains.
By the time the rosebuds open, they are damaged.:(
Not too many close up shots this year.

One of my favourites last year, taken with my old Coolpix.
The rose is Charles Darwin.

You are lucky that you are getting rain, its dry as a bone up here and my poor Roses have not had a drink for over two weeks..
And its been very windy too, though all the leaves make good mulch and that helps a little. DA's are my favourites as you know..
That one is so pretty and very similar to Graham thomas isn't it.

It's one of my many favourite DA roses. I've managed to squeeze 35 into my backyard.:D
It is more variable in colour than GT, here is one taken winter this year, showing more apricot colours.

I must admit I'm not the greatest fan of rose bushes but they are lovely photos.
