We’ve had a few frosts here this week. Yesterday, I couldn’t help noticing that one of my roses was still putting out blooms.
After I’d walked the dog, I took the camera into the garden to capture the splash of colour – the frost already turned to water.
The roses have been good this year and I always feel a bit sad as we go into the winter without their rich colours to warm us up.
I thought that might have been the last, but on a closer look, I found these…
I suppose they might not make it to full bloom, but these perfect buds give me a little thrill – there’s something so beautiful about roses.
Hope you’re warm and cosy.

I have roses in bud still – and rosehips in the hedges.
Rosehips – are they the ones that make you itch if you break open the little red shell?
