A name...

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
William Shakespeare got it right!

Three good things;
1. Playing around with lots of roses but chose this shape - not fully blooming yet.
2. It was so foggy most of the day but no good photo opportunities - had done them all before.
3. Something new every day!
