Every Rose Has Its Thorns

This little baby is in full bloom. It's an Eglantyne (I think) from David Austin, it has a rich, deep clovey scent. David Austin is a bonkersly expensive rose grower and these will set you back about £17 a throw in one of those expensive garden centres like the one that sounds like Nobbies. I got 3 for £25 in an offer in the paper so I feel good about that. Not as good as looking at and smelling them makes me feel though.

I thought I'd snap this now as it's nearing the end of November, there's a cold snap coming and I dont know how long it's gonna last.



EDIT: I'd like to send this rose to Every Little Step. I have no words.
