"A Bucket Full Of Roses"

Yes, a bucket full of fragrant roses from my John this morning. They looked so pretty all bunched up in the bucket prior to arranging - I thought this would be my blip for today..

Our roses have suffered some during the hot days of January and February, but they still bloom on regardless, even though some of their petals have been singed a little with the hot sun.

They love the sun anyway, but lately, just about everything in the garden has indicated it's 'not happy'. However, soon we shan't have too many bushes blooming with our Autumn and Winter approaching and so, we make the most of them, buckets full, and all...
