Roses 'n' Rain

We have suffered a few weeks of drizzling late-summer rain and getting into the garden to weed and prune has almost been impossible without gum boots, a rain jacket and a row boat! Okay, well perhaps not the later, but you get the idea!

Any attempts at pruning the roses today quickly dissipated when yet another dark cloud dropped its load overhead.

So instead of snipping, I pulled out the camera and did some snapping...

Back in late January when we scored that 21 inches in almost 21 hours everything, roses included, was fertilised with blood and bone. 5 weeks on, the results speak volumes.
