Our David Austin rose had its second blooming in October. The "Gertrude Jekyll" has been putting out blooms over the last week or two, though not as prolific as in the spring. Mr. Forest Manor mentioned today that there were several buds and one fully opened bloom, and that I might want to cut them to enjoy in the house. Well of course I would. :)
I counted six buds on the bush, but I only cut four.
Close-up shots show off the slight ruffle of the multiple petals.
This sweet English rose brings me so much pleasure each year; I wish we had a yard full of old garden roses.
More pictures were taken this morning...
as this room gets the soft, morning sunlight.
This is why I love fall in North Carolina; colorful leaves are scattered around the yard, yet we still had these rose buds and a bloom, even after Friday night's cold temperatures. It helps that this climbing rose grows against our house, where it's protected from the first cold spell.
Besides bringing beauty and fragrance into the house, the flowers gave me a chance to practice my photography. ;)
Thanks for visiting me -- you're much appreciated. What blooms are left in your garden? I hope you've had a beautiful fall weekend!
Blessings,
Denise
