Compte de Chambord, was there ever another rose with such a heavenly scent?
Some of my roses are still blooming away at this late date. I suspect that the Compte de Chambord rose bud pictured above is one of the last that this rose will produce this year, but I could be wrong. Either way it’s a lovely rose bud isn’t it and oh it smells … so beautiful with it’s rich rose perfume.
I took this photo on a windy day in lat October. I believe I was holding the rose stem to keep it still as I snapped the shot which of course is why the background has an interesting blurred effect – the foliage of the other plants near the rose were blowing in the wind.

Our roses have a few blooms still hanging on them – sort of in stasis I would think. They were a little ignored this year with our busy schedule.

I still have a few roses too but here I think they would grow all year long if I never cut them back.
