The weather this weekend has been incredible, dry, mild, bright and crunchy, (if weather can be crunchy that is).
I have been raking up barrows full of conkers, leaves, rotting windfalls. So far so Autumn
And yet the mild weather has allowed another flush of roses. A Shropshire Lad, Gertrude Jekyll, the Pilgrim. 
Surprisingly there are a few Astrantia in flower and even some Cornflowers. 
These roses do not have quite the same strength of smell at this time of the year. The flower heads may droop thanks to their slightly weaker stems yet there is no doubt that these roses are a lovely sight in mid October.
I am joining Cathy and the other regulars with in a vase on Monday. Have a lovely week. D.
