Slightly nibbled

Coeur de Neige in all it's autumn glory.  Poor thing, I have had little time to care for the garden this year, and everything is showing signs of neglect.  It's not just time - the arthritis is kicking in - well, you know how it is.

Still true to form, this gorgeous rose gives off a strong and distinctive scent.  Autumn roses in this State always have a deeper colour and a stronger perfume than do the Spring flowers.
