An Orange Rose - Preston - a photo on Flickriver

            I took a stroll in the sunshine in early August, and I walked past this beautiful pink, sweetly fragrant, orange rose which is thriving in the original garden of a stylish 1930s Art Deco clinker brick villa.  I do not know the variety of rose, other than it is English and the bush is quite old.  The little old Italian lady who lives in the house cannot speak a word of English, and I don’t speak a great deal of Italian, so I can’t ask her.  She loves her garden, and she always has a wonderful show of rose blooms throughout the warmer months of the year.

Although this photo was taken in winter on an unusual sunny day, spring has finally come to Melbourne after a long and grey winter, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours after a wetter than usual winter.
