Today the day started out rainy and overcast, but by mid afternoon the sun broke through sporadically through the clouds, giving a lovely, mildly warm afternoon. With the change in weather, I decided to go out with my camera.
On my exploration, I came across this vibrant pink rosebud basking in the sun.
Melbourne has experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which is now bleeding well and truly into a wetter and greyer than average spring and summer, however on the rare sunny days we are currently getting, the showing of flowers and blossoms is beautiful.
This includes my "Nahema" rose in my rear garden which grows by my back terrace. My garden is quite shady, but it does live in a spot where it gets afternoon sun. We have had a few sunny and warm days the last week or so, so it has finally started blooming! This is my first flower for summer!
"Nahema" was bred by Georges Delbard, in France, from "Grand Siecle" and "Heritage" in 1991 and released in France in 2006. "Nahema" has established a reputation as one of the best fragrant climbers on the market. It produces masses of highly fragrant and deeply cupped old-fashioned blooms with velvety petals of delicate almond blossom pink. This rose blooms in profusion throughout the season with a strong perfume of citrus, peach, apricot, pear and rose. The renowned perfume of the Guerlain range of perfumes is based on the essence of this rose.

Have a great, but cooler, Windmill Wednesday!
I would say 'old fashioned', but I've never before seen these with serrated petal edges! So pretty, waving in the breeze against a view out over the bay! UC Botanical Garden.

"Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers,
And to them I'd like to drink a toast,
I walk in the park just to kill lonely hours.
Spring can really hang you up the most."
Lyrics from "Spring Can Really Hang you up the Most", by lyricist Fran Landesman and composer Tommy Wolf (1955).
Well, it is spring here in Melbourne, although the weather has been very patchy and often cold and raining, which has made for a patchy selection of rose blooms. However, with the weather being so fine the other day, I decided to take a stroll in the spring sunshine whilst I could.
On my walk I went past a garden of a large Art Deco bungalow which has a selection of old fashioned fragrant roses in its garden! I don't know what variety this is, but its stylish structure of golden yellow petals, is so architectural and beautiful. Like its pink neighbours in the garden bed, it had a light whiff of a sweet scent to it.
I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful "Julia's Rose" which is thriving in the well maintained garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa.
Introduced in 1976 by Wisbech Plant Farm in the United Kingdom, "Julia's Rose" is an unusual colour blend of coffee, lavender and pink blushes on long smooth stems. A tall open bush, this rose repeat flowers often in clusters from October to May and in cooler weather can become completely coffee-coloured.
Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
Summer has come to an end here in Melbourne, where I live. It was late in getting here after a long and grey winter, and one of the wettest springs on record. Now it is gone, according to the calendar anyway, however not before it gave us beautiful blooms bursting forth in profusion and in beautiful colours. This includes my Papa Meilland rose bush.
Papa Meilland is a magnificent French hybrid tea rose. Named in honour of a Doyen in the rose breeding world by his Grandson, the now famous Allain Meilland, Papa Meilland has dark, velvety crimson coloured petals and a magnificent, strong, old rose fragrance. This rose was bred in France and introduced in 1963. I have two of these bushes in my front garden, and although white roses are my favourite type of rose, the Papa Meilland rose would come a very close second!

Loving the vintage style here though she seems a little unsure of herself. It's not often you see a muff in the 21st century! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend of photography my Flickr friends. Stay safe and keep the shutters firing!
When I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine a few months ago, I walked past this magnificent two toned "Andeli Double Delight" rose bloom, in the well maintained garden of an Edwardian villa. The vibrant bloom of creamy yellow with magenta edges basking in the sun was too beautiful not to photograph.
"Andeli Double Delight" is a multiple award winning, red blend hybrid tea rose cultivar bred in the United States by Swim and Ellis and introduced in 1977. Its parents were two hybrid tea cultivars, the red and yellow 'Granada' (Lindquist, 1963) and the ivory 'Garden Party' (Swim, 1959). These roses have strong fragrance and are disease resistant.
Spring in Melbourne this year was particularly beautiful, with gardens bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.

Well, it is winter here in Melbourne now, an in spite of being sunny today, there is no warmth in it, so I have decided to post a photograph from a few months ago to remind me of the Indian summer that was, when taking a walk didn't require multiple layers as well as sunglasses.
On a walk back in March I went past a garden of a small Art Deco bungalow which has a selection of old fashioned fragrant roses in its garden! I don't know what variety this is, but its stylish structure of apricot petals, albeit slight sunburn around the edges, is so architectural and beautiful. Like its pink neighbours in the garden bed, it had a light whiff of a sweet scent to it.

In Italy you can find a lot of buildings with this oldfashioned bunch of retro antennas to capture the television signal. it' s like a tecnological garden
Melbourne experienced a colder and wetter than average winter this year, which then became the wettest spring ever recorded. Now however, it seems that summer has finally arrived, albeit late, with glorious days of summer sunshine that bring out beautiful blooms on all the flowers. This includes my Elina Rose, which is one of the strongest rose bushes in my front garden.
Elina is a very prolific, constantly flowering Hybrid Tea rose bred in Northern Ireland by the Dickson family in 1983. It was released in 1984. Each rich cream coloured flower comprises around 25 petals. Elina’s perfect classic rose shape, long straight stems, mild fragrance and attractive foliage ensures it is a popular cut flower variety and sought after by florists.

Sincere thanks for your views, faves and comments.
For some, this may be more like your great-grandmother's lace, but I remember plenty of this. Seen as we walked the Ukrainian Village neighborhood in Chicago.

Thank you so much for your kind words, faves and invitations to groups! I really appreciate each of them !!!
I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other week, and I walked past a rose bush I have always admired. This single bush displays roses in shades of pale yellow with pink edges, vibrant pink, carmine and orange. The owner is unsure of its origins, as it was part of the garden when she bought the property, however after I first saw it, I did some research to try and find out what it is. It is a Desert Peace rose. Bathed in spring sunshine the vibrant bloom was too beautiful not to photograph.
The “Desert Peace” rose is a hybrid tea rose with yellow blend blooms, with pink edges. It was produced by Meilland International in France in 1991.
Spring has finally come to Melbourne, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
"An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small, in blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul upon the growing gloom.
So little cause for carolings of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through his happy goodnight air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew and I was unaware."
-Thomas Hardy
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 4th of February is "copy-collage", a challenge in which a photo collage must be presented, but only one image may be used and edited in different ways to create the collage.
Anyone who follows my photostream will know that I love flowers, especially roses. I took a photo towards the end of last year of a yellow rose filling the frame. I decided to use this as my image for the "copy-collage" theme. I have given the four copies of the same image making up majority of the collage different textures and tones, adjusting their size to show the image in full using four different sized squares. I have then applied a partially transparent copy of the original image over the top. Having never done anything quite like this before, I just played around and tried to be creative. I am actually very pleased with how this turned out!
I hope that you think so too, that you like my choice of image for the theme, and that it makes you smile!
This pink Iceberg rose is one of the few non fragrant roses in my rose garden, yet it makes up in beauty and shape what it lacks in fragrance. It was the last rose to stop flowering part way through winter last year, and it looks to be the same again this year!
Melbourne had a very good start to summer with not too many burning hot days and lots of rain, which means that the autumn flowers now about are simply glorious. This includes a final show of autumnal blooms in my rose garden as the leaves start to change colour and fall from the bushes.

It is the middle of winter where I live, and we are currently going through a rather arctic blast with grey leaden skies, fog and winds that cat cut through you when they whip up. In spite of that, it was mild enough for a winter day yesterday to go out, so I went for a walk. Unlike today, there were actually blue skies and sunshine.
Whilst I was out, I came across a wonderful vibrant pink rose on a thorny bush, its face turned from me to reach for the winter sun. In spite of the fact that it was quite shrunken, the bloom was such a brilliant colour that it caught my eye from across the road and I crossed over to see it. Luckily I had my camera with me!
It just shows that even in the heart of winter, there is still beauty and colour to be found!
I hope this brightens your day, regardless of whether you are in the middle of winter or summer.
It was foggy this last visit, and stormy with strong winds and flying snowflakes the time before that... but still it is fun to drive up Lighthouse Road, then hike the oceanside trail to Owls Head, and then climb the steep stairs to the top. I'd like to say it's a nice view from there, but so far I haven't seen anything! haha
Though I have accentuated the look of decay on this train, it really is very old. It was used for Pennsylvania Railroad passenger lines beginning in 1920. The 3750 was used to pull President Warren G. Harding's funeral train from Washington D.C. in 1923, and is now on display at the Railroad Museum in Strasburg, PA. It weighs 160 tons.
The weather has been rather unpredictable and dramatic over the last few days here. We have had days of oppressive heat, then humidity. Then, a storm cell came through bringing with it much needed rain, and dampening the high temperatures.
Thankfully, my new "Nahema" rose blooms have been protected from the elements of the last few days, and after just a few days have gone from buds full of promise, to beautiful fluffy blooms of ruffled petals.
"Nahema" was bred by Georges Delbard, in France, from "Grand Siecle" and "Heritage" in 1991 and released in France in 2006. "Nahema" has established a reputation as one of the best fragrant climbers on the market. It produces masses of highly fragrant and deeply cupped old-fashioned blooms with velvety petals of delicate almond blossom pink. This rose blooms in profusion throughout the season with a strong perfume of citrus, peach, apricot, pear and rose. The renowned perfume of the Guerlain range of perfumes is based on the essence of this rose.
Although autumn has now well and truly given way to winter here in Melbourne, there is still a great deal of colour around if you remember to take your time, stop and smell the roses, like this glorious red Papa Meilland bloom which I saw on a walk one sunny winter's day.
The day I took this photo was a lovely and sunny day with bright blue skies: an unusually warm day for winter, although there was a crispness in the air if you were out of the sun. I thought I'd go for a walk and take advantage of the sunny conditions, as rain arrived the evening after.
Papa Meilland is a magnificent French hybrid tea rose. Named in honour of a Doyen in the rose breeding world by his Grandson, the now famous Allain Meilland, Papa Meilland has dark, velvety crimson coloured petals and a magnificent, strong, old rose fragrance. This rose was bred in France and introduced in 1963.
One of the pleasures in my life is to go for a stroll in the sunshine. There is great joy and much delight in tarrying along the way to stop and smell the flowers - especially roses - and photograph them too!
It is another leaden grey sky day here today, so all the more reason to inject a little light and colour from one of my previous strolls a little over a year ago, last winter. In June of 2023, I was lucky enough to see one of the last blooms on this 'Blue Moon' rose bush in the well maintained garden of an Edwardian bungalow.
Strongly fragrant, "Blue Moon" is a ravishing Hybrid Tea Rose with double lavender flowers of around forty petals. Blooming in flushes from spring to autumn, this bushy, upright shrub is ideal was bred by Mathias Tantau of Rosen Tantau in Germany in 1964. It is very popular for its strength and beautiful blooms.
This pink rose caught my eye as it stood alone in the front garden of a weatherboard villa, basking in the sunshine.
Melbourne had a very good start to summer with not too many burning hot days and lots of rain, which means that the autumn flowers now about are simply glorious. This includes a final show of autumnal and early winter blooms in my rose garden as the leaves start to change colour and fall from the bushes.

It is the middle of winter where I live, and we are currently going through a rather arctic blast with grey leaden skies and winds that cat cut through you.
In spite of that, it was mild enough for a winter day to go out, so I went for a walk the other day. Whilst I was out, I came across a wonderful lone vermilion rose on a thorny bush. It was such a brilliant colour that it caught my eye from across the road and I crossed over to see it. Luckily I had my camera with me!
It just shows that even in the heart of winter, there is still beauty and colour to be found!
I hope this brightens your day, regardless of whether you are in the middle of winter or summer.
It is winter here in Melbourne where I live, and we are having a very arctic blast of cold weather at the moment, so in spite of the bright sunshine and blue skies, there is little in the way of warmth. Thus, I thought I might post a reminder of warmer days.
Melbourne was blessed with an Indian summer this year that well and truly bled into autumn, so when I took this photo at the beginning of May, the day as lovely and warm and I had decided to take a stroll in the glorious sunshine.
On my walk I went past a garden of an old Edwardian bungalow which had a single rose bush still in bloom, and what magnificent blooms they were too! I don't know what variety this is, but its complex petal structure is so architectural and beautiful. It made me think the bloom was puckering up for a kiss.
