The cold wet evenings seem to linger till just before sunset
and the rosaruim spends most of the day in the shade this late into winter. The
roses look cold and they should be heading for a good sleep but there are still
bushes producing flowers.
They have about two weeks left before pruning when the
garden changes completely and one wonders how it is possible that the bare
sticks will again blossom in a magnificent spring display.
The colours of the roses that flower in winter seem to be
more intense and I love the blue ones especially.
With temperatures down to 3 C at night and very little sunshine, it is quite defiant of the roses to still produce blooms like these. They almost seem to be frozen in time!
