New for Old

The gloom continued on Tuesday. I suppose the only good point is that it’s not been too cold with the temperature varying by only 1.8°C through the day with a maximum of 12.7°C.

Our yellow rose is still producing new buds despite being rather neglected. It had a bad start to the year when it was hacked back to ground level and its roots partially encased in the concrete foundations to the new summerhouse. Its gone on to regrow and is now better than it has ever been producing lots of flowers all summer.
 
Even though an old mouldy flower has been left on (too wet to dead-head) it’s still producing new flower buds even in this damp and miserable weather.
