David Austin Roses - "Princess Anne"

The rose bush is full of blooms so heavy that one stem is bending over under the weight.  It smells wonderful.  I like the way that the blooms change colour as they age and fade away.  Will have to do some dead heading though.  Took this early Monday evening after a long hot day spent in town getting more currency and some last minute purchases.  I have also sorted out "holiday tops" finding that I have several duplicated colours. Now my problem is to try to sort out what to take as I always overpack.  Wish I could build a "capsule" wardrobe which would mix and match.  My friend does that and only needs a small case however long she is going away for, and she rings the changes with scarves and other accessories.
