Roses in January

My friend brought me these lovely roses yesterday.
Even more special at this time of the year!
Whenever I've had roses before the heads tend to droop over but touch wood these are still looking very perky!

Praying for @andreajoy whose is in hospital slipping away from us.
Such a well loved 365er who's journey you may have followed.

Three good things:
1. The biscuit tin is full of biscuits again.
2. Still no snow.
3. Fresh orange juice.
Beautifully photographed - I love the light and shade.

Sorry to hear about Andrea.

I think something is being added to roses as those I have had lately have lasted a long time.

Lovely light on your beautiful roses Pat.

Beautiful roses Pat, lovely light. When your roses start to droop, cut the stalks at a angle and stick them in boiling water until the air bubbles stop, usually about a minute, then put them in clean cold water. The drooping is normally caused by air locks, hopefully this will help!

Beautiful flowers and I love the backlighting.
sorry to hear Andrea is fading away. I haven't followed her 365 but you have mentioned her on occasion. She sounds like a very brave lady. May her passing be peaceful.
