A rose by any other name .....

Bought myself some rose bushes this morning to brighten the front of the cottage, and several honey suckle creepers to plant at the back veranda to provide shade for next summer.

Just had to take a photo of this one standing in the rain. Yes, it's raining again, so what's new this summer.

A rose.

Another rose from our school yard garden.

Taken this morning, before school. I was captivated by the subtle shading from yellow to pink.
