Another rose on the way

A bit later Earth’s glory is on display

May morning in the garden
It’s only 40 degrees F on a sunny mid-May morning. Still there is Nature’s beauty on display.

The first rose bloom of the season
The last rose
This will probably be the last rose of the season. Heavy frost and hard freezes are on the way.
Morning glory clings to a rose plus a bud

Here’s another bud with a rose on the way. The rose bush is still producing flowers.

The same rose Monday morning
Watching the progression of blooms is always a wonder to behold.
Roses after the rain
Rose against a gray sky, morning glory vine grows under the bloom
Getting ready to open
Bet there are fresh raindrops caught in the bloom
Color is peaking through, delicate drops perched on the bud
