Rose 'Zepherine Drouhin', covered in frost.

(Almost) Silent Sunday: Looking Back

I have Covid (for the first time), so I’m using it as an excuse to take it easy this week and just re-posting a photograph from 2019. Sometimes I get lucky and there’s something still in flower when the first frosts arrive. This is the rose ‘Zepherine Drouhin’.

    1. Thanks Steve! I’m just glad that I didn’t catch one of the earlier variants and that I was lucky enough to escape until it got milder. Hubby hasn’t had it at all yet and it looks as if he may get away with it!

  8. Archives can be so useful; I’m sorry yours came to your aid under these circumstances. It’s good to hear your case was relatively mild and that you’re feeling better. You’ll know when it’s time to emerge from your cocoon!

  9. That’s a beauty. Damp and foggy here today so I’m taking it easy too. No excuse for my laziness though. I’m glad to hear that you are getting better. We’ve escaped so far, though had a particularly nasty lurgy in 2022, but tested negative for covid.

    1. Thanks Jude – it’s a rose that seems to do OK without any pampering. Glad you’ve escaped covid so far, I’m surprised that my Hubby has managed to do so! I’m feeling a lot better, so hoping for some gardening tomorrow, especially if we get some sun.

  12. Wow Ann! (Finally got back on Chrome here.) Hope you are feeling better. I have never had it either and keep my fingers crossed. Still love the image even if it was a reblog. You have such beautiful flower pix! Get well soon!

    1. It’s great to be able to see your name, although I guessed a few times that you were commenting anonymously. I’m better now, thank you, though still a bit tired, and getting a bit more done at last!

      1. I have tried several times to get it through, but Mozilla appears to be a problem. There are other sites that do not work with comments also, but I can like the blog. Really strange.
