I like the pastel colour of this rose....

....as much as the more flamboyant ones. We took Jinks out before breakfast as the sky threatened rain and I saw this in a front garden.

Thank you, Gayanne. I went by this afternoon again with Jinks on our walk and the buds had opened up and the moment was gone - carpe diem and all that! I'd never have noticed that pre 365.
