'Pristine'

This is 'Pristine', a hybrid tea-rose growing in the rose gardens at Roxborough Park, in north-western Sydney. Located at Baulkham Hills, near Castle Hill. The gardens are maintained by the Hills Shire Council.

 

Photographed in the late afternoon, in between the rain that has been a feature of Sydney in recent times, on Sunday 20th December, 2020.

 

'Pristine' has been lucky to withstand the heavy rain and, as such, the blooms are not as "pristine" as once they may have been. But to me that makes them like warriors - and adds to their fragrant charm.
