A Red Rose Bloom - Preston

I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other week, and I walked past this beautiful large red rose which had burst into bloom almost seemingly overnight in the well tended cottage garden of a 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa. It has a beautiful, sweet fragrance, suggesting that it is an old fashioned variety of rose. Bathed in spring light the vibrantly red bloom was simply too beautiful not to photograph.

 

Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
