Rosa 'Perle d'Or'
Success! Five days ago I photographed this rose bud, looking rather sad after too much rain. The following day I removed a couple of the outer petals, which were becoming stuck to the remainder of the bud, in the hope that it would then open naturally. In summer, when there has been a lot of rain, buds sometimes fail to open fully and in due course one can just lift these buds from the stem.
