My Christmas Rose

Every year, after all my roses have died and my garden looks a bit empty and desolate except for a few palm trees, this beautiful yellow rose flowers. This rose bush has been in my garden for years, it fades away around October, and then each year a new bud grows, and stays with us right through Christmas. I have never seen roses lasting so long, or so late in the year. This is the rose bush that my Christmas Rose stems from.

Hi Ann, I really do love this particular rose. When the rest are all gone, this one still blooms. Just like us Lady Ann, Ryans Dawter

Hi txlady, How are you? I think there is no flower like a rose, and a rose in Winter is the icing on the cake, for me.

Hi Barbe, I love it and it brings me great pleasure especially in winter. Its funny how it appears every year, and stays in bloom around Christmas. I must find the name, its probably sitll on it, and let you know.

It's a lovely rose, Robyn.
Blooms are rare in winter, and perhaps
that rose is Heaven's Christmas gift to you.

Hi Robyn.
Nice looking bloom, the bush must be in a fairly sheltered spot in your garden.


Robyn5 replies on 10/26/2009 10:41 am:
Hi jimbob, Its in a sheltered spot, right at the end of the garden, and it gets all the sun in summertime. It seems to be a very hardy rose, has survived a long time now.
