Raindrops on Roses

Rosa mutabilis, which I think means changeable.

 As it ages the colour deepens from pink to coppery-crimson, to quote David Austin's website. He recommends it highly and I love it .

The flowers don't last long, but they keep coming, and have a delicate tea-rose scent.  It is quite tender, so we gave it  a favoured position, south facing on the wall over the back door where we can watch it as it changes.

Today it is just opening and enjoying  a cool refreshing shower of rain.
