This shot was taken on Tuesday after our walk to the Homstead Park, and shows one of several rose buds on the rose bushes in our front garden. The bud has since opened a little more, but more severe weather with lower temperatures and a mix of sleet and snow have left it looking rather battered.
It does show just how much warmer than usual it has been over the last two months.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Sadly, this bud did not fully open with a combination of low temperatures, rain and snow defeating it. Still, it was a nice sight at the start of the year, and hopefully there will be many more buds in the spring.

Thank you Margaret - it always used to be remarkable to have roses in the lead up to Christmas, but we still have some trying to flower.
