Rosa 'rhapsody in blue'

Mine is at that stage too, had one opened up but others are a bit slow. They are so pretty.

Olive, if they open anytime soon, the wind will just lift the flowerheads right off...I found 3 large branches of my lupin blown off this morning...I can see from my front window a young tree lying on the grass area...The council planted them about 5 years ago....:<(

oh no! This wind it does so much damage, it is just starting to die down here, rained for about 20 minutes and it is dry again now, we are not getting enough rain to do any good.
