Pierre de Ronsard, climbing rose

The wind blow my big standard rose tree to bits

It's been a bit like that here too, C...everytime the roses get themselves ready to look gorgeous, we get another storm...and the flowers all get battered...

And, true to form...it's pelting rain now!!

Looks so pretty

It is a beauty, Paul...but, once again, it'll be mush by the morning! :(

That is a lovely rose,Karen..such a shame it doesn't last longer,with the rain pelting it..all that hard work it does,to get to that stage...

Beautiful! yeah my roses were moslty the same..lovely bud about to bloom then more rain and splat! end of! :(

..Mush!!!!! :(((

yep!
