Luminescent Beauty

Yesterday and today were beautiful Indian summer days as Autumn slowly creeps in through the shadows.

 

As I work from home, I get a lovely view of my rear garden over my back terrace. Looking up I saw my "Nahema" rose, which has what may possibly be its last bloom for the season, bathed in morning light. I rushed out to capture the bloom, highlighted and illuminated by the morning sun.

 

"Nahema" was bred by Georges Delbard, in France, from "Grand Siecle" and "Heritage" in 1991 and released in France in 2006. "Nahema" has established a reputation as one of the best fragrant climbers on the market. It produces masses of highly fragrant and deeply cupped old-fashioned blooms with velvety petals of delicate almond blossom pink. This rose blooms in profusion throughout the season with a strong perfume of citrus, peach, apricot, pear and rose. The renowned perfume of the Guerlain range of perfumes is based on the essence of this rose.
