A Bright Farewell to Summer - a photo on Flickriver

            Summer has come to an end here in Melbourne, where I live.  It was late in getting here after a long and grey winter, and one of the wettest springs on record. Now it is gone, according to the calendar anyway, however not before it gave us beautiful blooms bursting forth in profusion and in beautiful colours.  This includes my Papa Meilland rose bush.

Papa Meilland is a magnificent French hybrid tea rose.  Named in honour of a Doyen in the rose breeding world by his Grandson, the now famous Allain Meilland, Papa Meilland has dark, velvety crimson coloured petals and a magnificent, strong, old rose fragrance. This rose was bred in France and introduced in 1963.  I have two of these bushes in my front garden, and although white roses are my favourite type of rose, the Papa Meilland rose would come a very close second!
