What a change in our fortune's after the bitter wind & rain of yesterday. Today the sun shone down from clear blue skies, tempting us to stop awhile & bask in her glory. Rose Palais Royal looked down regally today through the branches of the ornamental crabapple with it's ruby red fruit. What a delight to see this rose in full flower the second week in November. Although her bed-mate the clematis 'Niobe' is long gone, she is the perfect companion for a late autumn fruit tree.
