A ROSE..

...is a rose, is a rose.  But this is one of mine -  Constance Spry, I think. 

Busy and sometimes stressful day today, wrestling with some knotty financial problems (other people's, not mine).  Now off to bed, but will I sleep?  I always find it hard when one of the precious grandchildren is mid - Atlantic.  Curse those flight tracking sites - they are so compelling.
