The last roses of summer

I cut back my roses drastically for the winter, so they decided to start flowering all over again.  I was going to jazz this up for Abstract Thursday, but decided I liked it as it was.

Apologies for falling behind with people's journals again.  Lollipop men and women are keeling over one after another and I'm rushing all over Bournemouth to cover their sites.  Every time someone comes back to work and I think I can have a few days off to catch up at home, another text message sends me somewhere else.  My sense of direction has improved no end.
