Christmas roses

Still flowering!
The words are taken from The Manchester Carols, a re-telling of the Christmas story with words by Carol Ann Duffy.
A pure white rose for charity, a sprig of green for parity,
A yellow rose for hilarity, and we will laugh, be equal, kind.
Giving our Christmas flowers.
A creamy rose for sentiment, a holly sprig for ornament,
An orange rose for ornament, and we will laugh, be happy, pleased,
Giving our Christmas flowers.

How beautiful these roses are, sadly there are no roses in our garden now but there were one or two until about a month ago.

I love the Manchester Carols - I'll be listening for them on Christmas Day - I'll have Classic FM on while I do the lunch! And no danger of 'A Spaceman' on there!
