A very unexpected gift.

Oh that's lovely..

In mid January? That really is a special gift!

Yes, I'm thrilled! It does seem strange though - welcoming spring flowers, but with a beautiful summer rose blooming as well!

Wow...what a lovely surprise! :o)

:-)))

That is so beautiful and so delicate spritz
I am having a rose revival we have bought several this year but I particularly am into the David Austin roses
One which isn't david austins, I bought was creme del a creme I saw this at Cottesbrook hall growing against the garden wall and fell in love. That's what started our new love for them.:)
Do you have any spritz?

Only 'Darcey Bussell' from DA. I tend to go for the more 'traditional' shaped flowers, and I planted a whole lot last year. The best performer by a long way was 'Hot Chocolate'. :-))

mine has a couple of buds but i think the frost may have nipped it in the bud. literally.

i will admire yours instead.

It dropped its petals today. :-((
