the rose bowl

 A few years ago I inherited this old rose bowl

and have been trying to fill it ever since.

I have resisted picking them until now.

 After the heavens open yesterday I was greeted this morning

with a number of droopy and broken roses.
 Main rose Gertrude Jekyll, New Dawn and Young Lycidius.

 So I had a play.

It's not actually full

but you get the idea.

I made the yearly pilgrimage to Mottisfont Abbey

to see the roses.

I was on the look out for a pale pink/blush rose,

and was rather taken by this moss rose

Jeanne de Monfort.

I quite like the mossy rose buds.

After substantial research

I have a list of possible candidates

Roses

Wildeve

Brother Cadfael

Wisley 2008

Gentle Hermione

I'd love to know if anyone has any of these

or could recommend a rain resistant rose?
Have a rosy weekend!
