This was one of half a dozen roses Mum & I ordered over 15 years ago, and while several of the others became regular stars and favourites, this one was planted in a corner under a Melaleuca that overgrew it, and never did that well. Two years ago I cut the tree back, and then got one near perfect flower off it, which I cut and placed on my desk. The scent was amazing, and perfumed the house for weeks. When I moved l potted it up and bought it with me, and have put it out the back where it gets a good dose of sun through the summer. And hasn't it thanked me! - there were about half a dozen clusters of these through spring. I'm hoping I see more through the summer.
Can't remember the name - reading the tv guide seems there's a bit of that around
(another remake of Umberto Ecco's "Name of the Rose", I think)

Doesn't it ever Ray! - that photo was taken with only a smidge of the last light showing. I wasn't even sure it hadn't all gone. This one was taken only a couple of minutes before, and I thought the result too contrasty for colour. I did come back to it after processing the first however, and tried processing it in Silver Effex using one of the split toning options. I hadn't done this before, and was so unsure I had to ask my sister what she thought, but she liked it, and I think it's growing (so to speak) on me;
