Faded Rose

The cold weather has gotten to the last rose of 2016.

Looks like beautiful crushed silk here! Roses are the best value!

[Milanie]

Even pretty at this stage.

It is beautiful even in this wilted state. I really like the faded color.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So beautiful even in this wilted stage

Don't worry you'll get new ones in a few months' time. Very nice shot.

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of this ``still pretty`` rose.

@maggiemae This rose reminds me of the potpourri my mother would make. You could see the forms of the flowers in the potpourri.

@milaniet @olivetreeann @beryl @pyrrhula Thank you for your comments. I could not believe how beautiful this rose was at this stage. There were four blossoms. The other three blossoms actually fell apart at this stage, with no petals left on the blossom stem.

@sangwann Thank you. I am indeed counting the months (and weeks) to spring. The roses usually bloom in May here, but they bloomed early last year.
