Today in the garden

Great to get some colour in the garden.

   

 

A thorn in my side

This small rose is a new one for me, having a dislike of garden roses with all the thorns and black spot and just as the flowers come out it rains and ruins the flowers. I have always thought it would be good to have a small one ever since 20years ago when I saw one of Ruth Stafford Jones. I even had a cutting from hers that I have had all that time and still looks much as it did then and has ever only had one tiny but beautiful creamy white double flower.
This one I have no idea on flower colour, but that’s the fun to wait and see. I know it has flowered well due to all the hips. So with the buds starting to move it was time to trim it, I guess this is not going to be a high maintenance plant to keep. Time will tell if this will be a thorn in my side or a joy to keep.

Will keep you updated.

First flower bud spotted. 

   
 

Don’t it look pretty.

Not sure it was in the forecast for today, but it’s here all the same.

Not everything has snow on, small tress tucked away.

Not much inside the pergola.

Another first for Hazel.

Today was going to be moss hunting day, think that will have to wait.

It’ll soon be over.

With autumn colours starting to make way to winter images. This maple still has a good coat on.
