First rose of 2014

I was really excited today, the new timer remote for my new camera arrived...the excitement was quickly replaced by disappointment to find that it did not work. A quick e-mail back to the seller at eBay and I'm hoping that it will be solved quickly!

Anyway, instead of what I had been planning I went out in the garden and saw that there was solitary rose out...bit early and it is the only one so no idea what it is doing...but it looked like it would be worth a shot as it may not be around for too long.
