A rose from the garden

Last autumn our gardener planted some new plants in the borders as a thanks for me providing him with some images for his website. These roses are new and a bit like a strawberry sorbet ice-cream, as far as I can see as their buds are starting to unfold. For Flower Friday with thanks to Anni/BikerBear for always hosting.

Thanks very much for all the Abstract Thursday entries and your kind comments, stars and even a heart for yesterday's filtered double exposure poppy
