ROSES IN JANUARY...

 

Roses I cut from our garden, on the FIRST day of the Year!!!

 

I had not had the time to prune the roses, that, or when I did have time, the weather was too dreadful to go out!

I decided to leave it for early Spring.

 

Woke up, that first fresh morning, looking forward to a nice long breakfast, opened the curtains, yuk.. four small buds on the rosebush were again being thrashed about in bursts of wind.

 

The breakfast became shorter than intended... I got dressed and ready, went out armed with my secateurs, brought them in, I saw the leaves were quite damaged.

 

For the first 2 days nothing happened, despite my encouragement (LOL)... on the third day, YESSS, they were opening... To my amazement, I always thought they were pure white... but no, they had pink edges!

Some damage, but hey, perfection=boring?

 

A true WINTER-ROSE!

 

 

THANK you and take care, M, (*_*)
