The Blushing Debutante

It may be cold and raining in Melbourne today, but as spring sets it, it isn't always like this, and we have had some beautifully warm days filled with sunshine and blue skies, like the day I took this photo.

 

On my stroll in the sunshine, I went past a garden of an old Edwardian bungalow which has these rose bushes shaped into round topiaries along their front fence, just starting to bloom, and what magnificent blooms they were too! I don't know what variety this is, but its complex petal structure and shape are so architectural and beautiful. This blushing debutante has a light fragrance which I think suits it very nicely.

 

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