Rose.

Perfectly formed beautiful tinted tea rose,

On my way back from the preserve I stopped at my favorite flower nursery to look for roses,

This one caught my eye, perhaps I need to get few Tea roses.

A beautiful gift of love

A seafront 'Rose'.. 'Rosa'.... for your weekend..

TGIF.. Thanks for stopping by.. have a lovely weekend..

So it's now Winter in Sydney. June, 2024.

But nobody told the roses!!!

They keep blooming like it's Spring or Summer.

This is 'Just Joey' in my garden.

'Just Joey' is a hybrid tea-rose.

Photographed last Friday, 7th June, 2024.

The bokeh consists of the fiery red leaves of my Canadian Maple 'Lipstick Red' tree which is now in its full Autumn colours - despite it being Winter. The subtropical nature of Sydney's climate alters the seasons.

I have just been to the funeral of my next door neighbour and her sons asked people to take some of the roses.

She had a fall some months ago which meant that she could no longer live on her own. However, she was ninety-seven and had done very well.
