Final Flourish

This is the final flourish of the last rose in my garden. Its shows the rose in the various stages of flowering, wilting and drooping. before the first serious stage of winter arrives.

I like to see life cycles in the garden from early spring, through summer and into autumn as the flowers in each stage of the year bring colour and vibrancy in their own way. Time now to think about battening down the garden hatches over the next few weeks.
