A Shy Mauve Beauty
I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I noticed this old fashioned mauve rose in the very well maintained garden of a stylish 1920s Art Deco stuccoed brick villa. A shy beauty, she was partially hiding behind some of her leaves, like a young lady of the Victorian or Edwardian era hiding behind her fan. When I pulled the leaves back, her mauve beauty shone. I was also treated to her beautiful old fashioned rose fragrance, which was sweet, and not at all overpowering.
Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which is now bleeding well and truly into a wetter and greyer than average spring, however on the rare sunny days we are currently getting, the showing of flowers and blossoms is beautiful.
