Beautiful I still have marigolds 🌻
Gosh, I often see a solitary rose left on a bush at this time of the year; however, a cluster this size is quite amazing. What's your secretDj?
Love and affection...😊 plus a thick bed of manure....🤣

It's a beautiful colour..😊I think the weather forecast for tonight is for a hardish frost..so that could be it..☹
Beautiful - thanks for posting
Absolutely glorious Dj1962 and it brought to mind the old song, 'The Last Rose of Summer'.'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming alone
All her lovely companions are faded and gone
No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem
Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them
Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead
So soon may I follow when friendships decay
And from love's shining circle the gems drop away
When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown
Oh who would inhabit this bleak world alone?

Beautiful poem. Who wrote it please?
in reply to diana1998
Hi Diana, these are the lyrics to a very old Irish folk song, written by the Irish poet Thomas Moore around 1800. The tune was apparently based on the tune "Aislean an Oigfear", or "The Young Man's Dream". (I had to look that one up!). There are many lovely versions available on YouTube. This one particularly touched my heart as it references the poem's allegory of ageing and being left alone. (If you want to use the link, please remember to use the white title and not the central button.)

Thank you.. That's lovely.
😍😍 I love roses 🌹
They are truly lovely 
I have lots of Penstemon still in flower! I cannot believe I only found them a couple of years ago! They are so easy, tolerate sun, shade, drought, wet, brilliant plants! Easy to take cuttings as well, so many different colours. Love them!! Weirdly, I still have Salvias flowering too xx
What a beautiful rose. Lovely form too.
Absolutely beautiful, great picture, also, A very nice tribute to your husband.
So beautiful xx
