Being a tourist in York (or anywhere else) can be quite exhausting, so after a wander around the city centre it was time to find somewhere to sit for a little while before continuing my exploration. I wandered into Deans Park, where there are numerous benches, so I took one in the shade near a rose bed.
I had a good look at the rather attractive variety of rose growing there. I have no idea what variety it was, but it made a lovely display.
This shot shows a newly opening bud, in a rather attractive pale peach colour. As the buds open more, the colour turns lighter and becomes a pale cream.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It hadn't struck me when I posted this shot yesterday, but there are relatively few places where roses can be seen in York. They seem to be well out of fashion, which I think is quite sad.

Thank you Kathy, there are some quite good photo oportunities in Dean's Park.
