The 4 Stages Of......!!!

My ‘Arthur Bell’ rose....the two top photos from bud opening to the leaves about to fall...and the the 2 lower photos the 2 stages in between......these are old David Austen roses that just keep coming back every year...
But as you can see from the raindrops on they are struggling always with the changeable weather...!
It wasn’t a bad weekend but today it’s showery and colder...absolutely nothing like May should be...:))
I’m about to try a another new crochet pattern now a little Bobble Hat....!!
