November Rose

257 - Surprisingly, despite the recent colder and grey weather, there are still a few roses in bloom in my garden. This bud survived the heavy rain of last night and this morning and is nicely opening in this afternoons sunshine.

This is really a surprise, since a month ago when I took a rose photo in my mums garden, mine were looking rather sad, and as if their season was over.

I'm not absolutely certain what variety it is, but I think it's a Queen Elizabeth. If so it was grown from a cutting quite a few years ago.
