Sally Holmes...

...in all her glory.

This is one of my favourite roses, so love the simplicity and pureness of it, the way the buds are apricot then open out into this stunning bloom.

Hermoine Cottage is a holiday home just down the road that is owned by "Sightsinging" and Sally Holmes grows abundantly against the wall. A beautiful sight and looking great this afternoon with the light shining through.

I have also shared some of the photos from my Kaimanawa wild horse trip on Flickr, such a great experience driving through the tussock lands of Waiouru.
