Perfect Rose

My November garden is looking a little ragged these days. The leaves on the sedum, plumbago, and vitex are fading. At the same time, there are bright spots. The cherry sage is in bloom, and the roses are still providing a few offerings. The holly berries have turned a brilliant orange-red. I will rely on them to cheer me through the winter.

When I went out to survey the fading glory, one perfect rose caught my eye. I gave it to my husband.

It occurs to me that splendor can come in a single package.

  1. You are absolutely correct, that’s a perfect rose. I’d love to see more pictures of your garden. We are coming to the end of a stunning fall foliage season here. The yellows, reds and oranges were so vivid they cast light into the house.
