Broken rose

This rose in our yard broke under the strength of the recent rain:

The rose looks as though it's just drooping because it's sad, but the stem has been snapped, as can be seen in the first picture. On the bright side, it is a relief that this rose plant has flowered: it was one of the roses that Mum had cut down almost to a stump to cure it of the blackspot disease. The new growth has been free from the infection.

  1. Beautiful rose! Shame is snapped, though. :(

    1. At least the plant itself has grown back. :)

    1. I didn't sniff this rose; it didn't seem appropriate to sniff it!
