We had a short spell of warm weather two weeks ago, and my roses, the ones that should be shutting down for winter, are putting out new blooms! I think they are confused! LOL … well, what can I expect when it’s been a bit warmer than it usually is at this time of year eh?
The rose above is called Lavender Dreams and I think I like it’s autumn blooms better than it’s blooms any other time of year. I think it’s because their lavender color is much richer in Autumn where as it’s spring and summer blooms are more of a light pink or light mauve.
Do you garden? If you do, do you have any roses or other plants that are still blooming?

Ours got trimmed back — so I don’t know if the weather would have called forth a bloom. But, I noticed the maple tree was acting a little springy

That’s a very nice shade of purple. My roses too are blossoming this time of the year. I’ve got some beautiful climbing yellow and white roses that smell wonderfully. I’ve made am arch for them right outside the house door, and the entrance always smells like honey, sweet. But news were next week the whether will get ugly so this weekend might be the last for this year for my roses…

I’m jealous, you’re still seeing color from flowers. Lucky you. Nice photo, thanks for sharing. We actually a little snow flurry this am. Groan.
