Birthday rose

This is the second flowering of my beautiful birthday rose.
Variety called Sceptered Isle by David Austin, it’s a shrub rose & it’s full of buds.
I will cut it back after this flowering.

Three good things:
1. A nice evening walk after our meal.
2. The B&B has gone home after an enjoyable holiday.
3. I have finished my book. Enjoyable but I was ready for the end, on to something a bit shorter & lighter.
The Evening & The Morning by Ken Follett.

That is a very beautiful Rose....like a Peony.

It's beautiful and at first I too thought peony.

[Carole Sandford]

Beautiful blooms!

[Maggiemae]

A very full bloom - the petals will fall and will retain their colour. Lovely picture!

[Judith Johnson]

Fantastic rose, love the fullness of the flower

[KWind]

Great shape and colour.

[Phil Howcroft]

it is a real beauty for sure Pat, I think we have a similar one, although I don't note the names, I will see if the name tag is still on the stem !

[Babs]

It is a beauty. What a lovely gift that will just keep on giving.

[GaryW]

Such gorgeous roses.

[Delwyn Barnett]

That is a beautiful rose - a very full blossom. I read the Pillars of the Earth many years ago and loved it but haven't read any more by Ken Follett. I must try another.

What a beautiful rose. It looks like it might have a wonderful perfume?

[Pat Knowles]

@dkbarnett The one I just read is the prequel to Pillars of the Earth Delwyn …I enjoyed it, bit gruesome & earthy but you expect that in the 900’s!

[Pat Knowles]

@jamibann sadly not Issi.

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae I love these old fashioned roses!

[Boxplayer]

Beautiful shot. And a glorious rose.

It does look gorgeous, but a pity it doesn’t have a lovely perfume.
