The rose, again

I continue to be astonished by this rose.  It's almost Christmas, we've had snow and frosts, and yet this rose continues to give generously.  This particular flower is past its best, but there are several new buds.  It's damp and misty out there today - neither of us have been inclined to stir far.  But the fire is lit, and I'm going to do some cross stitching.

I've back blipped for yesterday, should you be interested.
