We are in the middle of a rain break, a few days without the wet stuff, and finding the fall sunshine very delightful.
Crunching through the crimson leaves, crisp autumn air, walking with my sweetie, Gar.
We ran across this rose in a planter on the way out of the hospital, after visiting my MIL, Rose, who has Alzheimer's.
The rose looks like a miniature, only about 3 feet tall, and has the most delightful ball shaped blooms. It certainly was not blooming in August. If anyone has any idea which variety it might be, please let me know.
I love it, and would love to get one.
We also saw the greeting committee orange kitty, and although he seemed a little skittish, I did manage to get some shots of him.
Any walk where we find a new beautiful flower, and get to see loved ones, is good.

That rose has become a favorite of mine as well. The color is fabulous and I love the little rounded shape. I'd love one too!
ReplyDeleteI am not an expert and this would be my best guess I can't tell if it's a Hybrid tea or a Floribunda but it looks like a Peace Rose there are a bunch of different Peace ones.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Visiting a loved one and a beautiful flower, I would say that is a perfect day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! wish i new who she is!
ReplyDeleteSeems like it's screaming to say---I am here... Look at me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as you say.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Rose, wonderful color..I do hope you find out which one it is! Rose is in the hospital..I hope it is nothing serious..:)
ReplyDeleteI just love coming across a particularly beautiful flower unexpectedly. Please let us know if you find out what kind of rose this is - it is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't help with the rose ID. Just like to say your pictures are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI am reading thru tears as I remember how painful it is to visit a family member with Alzheimer's. It seems as though God placed that beautiful rose there for you...I hope you find out what it is. My prayers for Rose and all of you.
ReplyDeleteA rain break, you say? I live in hope of one finding its way here, too. Anywhere we can find a flower in these days is a cheerful, good place. I'm sorry about your MIL. It's a terrible disease.
ReplyDeleteSuch a charming flower - and it was there for you to enjoy in the autumn! Enjoy this small miracle...
ReplyDeleteI was just looking through your blog and came across the question of Jan Arden...the answer is yes she has a new CD out.
ReplyDeleteWe too have enjoyed a rain break the last couple of days. But it's moving back in Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely rose. Sorry I can help with the i.d.
Oh, those are gorgeous. You captured them beautifully!
