Old Favourite

Again a plethora of back blips.  So much to do, and so little time.

Souvenir de la Malmaison - one of my very favourite roses, and tough as old boots, despite it's fragile appearance.  Tends to ball up for the spring flush and does remarkably well in Autumn.  Despite the heat, despite the bore water, and despite the lack of care. 

It deserves better.
