The first rose of the season bloomed in my garden last week, but i had a few photos of Australian native flowers to post and this is the first chance i have had to post it’s arrival. 🙂
(Click on a pic to open in a new window and click again to see enlarged detail!) 🙂Just emerging from it’s fur-lined Winter covering this bud is competing against leaves seemingly made of the finest soft leathers in brown and green. 🙂
A little later on morning raindrops highlight the delicate beauty burgeoning forth. 🙂
2 days later, and just before Winter’s close, the rose on this 50+ year old bush looks as fresh as ever! 🙂

Thanks. 🙂
It’s a stunning rose in that it can change colour so much in a week. I’ve had them begin as blood red buds to orange and then apricot, yellow and finally almost pure white as the flower opens then fades.

Thank you once more! 🙂
I pruned back this bush around 6 weeks ago and this was the first and only flower it has produced so far. It will probably have around 5-6 more growth/flower spurts before i prune it next year with maybe another 50-70 flowers all up.

Such a lovely color! Looks exactly like the color of a friend’s prom dress! 🙂

Fading ombre shading on a dress sounds quite fetching. 😀
