Ice Princess
A vicious hailstorm lashed northern Sydney just before Christmas, as a culmination of two days of extreme heat. I thought the storm, and especially the icy hail, would dismantle most of the roses in flower. And many did succumb.
But not this one - this is 'The Ice Princess'. Just look at those petals!! A Clint Eastwood performance against the rain and hail. It continues to flower undeterred.
btw - Have you noticed that all Clint Eastwood's old movies featuring him as 'Inspector Harry Callahan' of the San Francisco PD, have all turned up on Netflix. Excellent!!!
Anyway, back to the rose. This is the delicately pink coloured 'Whiter Shade of Pale' hybrid tea-rose. Photographed on 23rd December, 2020.
