small bee on pink

I was so busy like the bee, in my case carried away taking photos, that I forgot to check the varieties of any of the roses I was shooting. Think this must be a floribunda and also an old variety of rose, of which there are many in the walled garden at Mottisfont.

From their website I find that old varieties are often headily scented and repeat flowering.

Busy bees in your part of the country.....far too cold for bees here, they would get blown away! Lovely capture of this centre rose & the bee.

You, and us, are not the only ones that like roses. Perhaps different reasons, but we all do. Great capture and timing.
