Return of the Roses

Almost 3 weeks ago I blipped the roses from the other end of this branch and in the past week these have been preparing to bloom - I wonder why that happens? Admittedly the bush has since been attached to a trellis and poke up above the gutter for me to see from my window. Soon I guess they'll need taken down a peg or two so they can make the most of their new resting place.

It had been raining for some time when I took this, it appears to still be raining...
