An early Christmas present?

An early blip from me today before I head off to work this evening. These Christmas roses are a bit bedraggled in the rain, with some signs of being nibbled by some unseen garden beastie. There is however a big clump of them which gladdens me immensely, as they were given to me by a dear lady who is no longer with us, and I was worried last year that I had lost them. Today though that worry has gone, as there are loads and loads of buds, with the promise of months of flowers ahead. Oh happy day!
