It has been a good year for #roses in this garden. Long established & at their best in May/June, they haven’t minded the dry weather. Some late-season blooms just appearing. The arrival of much-needed rain is welcome! How have your roses fared? #ThrowbackThursday #GardeningX

Last day of Meteorological Summer ‘25. It’s A Wonderful Life. Pearl Abundance. A Whiter Shade of Pale. Perle d'Or. #lastdayofsummer #roses #GardeningX

First day of #meteorologicalautumn But #astronomicalautumn isn’t until 22 September, so we can pretend it’s summer for a few more weeks. Whichever seasonal calendar you prefer, have a good week, take care. #GardeningX #cheeringupmondays #roses

‘Lady of Shallot’ looking serene before the arrival of ‘false autumn’. Blustery winds, rain, flying petals and leaves, crab apples plopping on the ground, seems very much like proper #autumn! Happy #RoseWednesday every one, have a good day, take care.
