Life is Like an Orange Orange Rose

"Life is like a grapefruit. Well, it's sort of orangy-yellow and dimpled on the outside, wet and squidgy in the middle. It's got pips inside, too. Oh, and some people have a half a one for breakfast."

- Douglas Adams (So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish)

I admit the quote bears little to no relation to the photo - but it does contain the word orange, and the rose is orange ;-)

Last weekend I dead-headed our roses, and many of them have bloomed again, in lovely colours, including this striking orange bud.
