We are nearly a month into winter in the Southern Hemisphere. I’ve been mostly housebound for the last two days staying dry and away from the winter storms that blew in. During a moment of brief respite, I walked around the front garden. It looks like a wedding has taken place with petals strewn everywhere. There are still plenty of roses, weighed down heavy with raindrops. I had to take a few pictures, actually I took 112 pictures in a half hour wander!
Although I love roses, I absolutely love ice berg roses. Usually pure white, mine seem to be tinged with pale pink. They are prolific bloomers. These are the ones I love and thought I’d share with you.
It saddens me that people regard roses as ‘high maintenance’ flowers. Mine just seem to look after themselves and survive my gardener’s brutal pruning. Maybe what falls away, makes them more beautiful. Something to reflect on.
Until next time
As always
