Every rose in the garden was cut yesterday morning early. Plants are getting scorched, and the leaves shrivelling on, and what a waste to have roses go over in just one day.
We might as well enjoy the roses indoors. Will the rose bushes recover, and will there be any late roses? Who knows? I have picked roses as late as December, so this year is quite unusual, but who knows whether after a good shower, and cooler weather the bushes will perk up again.
For now we are ensconced behind closed windows, with curtains closed on the sunny side of the house, and each door internally closed and it is making a difference.
Today a postcard came from a friend who is holidaying in the Dordogne, where it is almost as hot as the UK! I've started to receive a few post cards even from friends staying at home in the UK. It is rather nice when a card flops onto the mat.
Gorgeous roses Noelle. And definitely the best idea to pick and enjoy indoors in the cool!
