Tonight I am busy watching a mini-series on the History Channel, so will just share some pictures of a yellow rose.

Every morning this month as I go out to pick up my newspaper this rose has been the first thing that I see. This picture was taken on New Year’s Day and the following ones during the time since.

It is nice to live where I have roses much of the year. I am enjoying the last few this month before pruning.

This picture was taken late in the afternoon as the sky darkened.

I really like this one that is lit up by the afternoon sun.

This one was taken yesterday and shows some nice detail of the structure of the rose.

The colder weather is preserving the rose and keeping it from drying out. I am wondering how long it will look nice.

In any case, I will need to think about pruning soon.
