October Rose

Well, its that time of year again when I start to question myself.  Clearly I am not the only one.  

The days get shorter and it starts to get darker earlier and earlier.

The garden starts to look a little worse for wear.

Then one day you wake up and find this staring back at you.  Roses in October in Canada are a RARE treat!

Is that not the very definition of yellow October rose perfection!  I planted it this spring and its bloomed pretty much continually since I planted it.  I hope it makes it through the winter.  Its SO pretty and cheery!  I have been scared of planting roses because I am intimidated by them, thinking they need the care of someone with a green thumb.  Shhh don't tell my pretty rose!
