Rose (Monday 13th June 2016)

The recent cutting back of the trees in the garden has woken up this rose bush that was in extreme shade before. I'd forgotten it was even there, so it definitely made me smile when I discovered it in bloom with this single rose flower yesterday evening, and it gave me a subject for this week's Mono Monday (other than Smokey who always makes me smile). Thanks to Red Flash for hosting.

I've put a full-colour alternative from the same session in Extras.
