Your white rose is lovely! A very good week for you apart from the stuck garage door. Wonderful news that your sister has been given the all clear.
ReplyDeleteThe rose was advertised as being white but it actually goes through lots of colour changes before the final white stage. It's a climber and the overall effect is multicoloured. I love it now but was disappointed at first.
DeleteIt's fantastic news about my sister. It's the second time she's had to go through it.
Wonderful; news about your sister and there's always room for just one (or two) more! I'm glad the garage door was sorted. I hate it when things like that happen. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy, it's the best news isn't it? It's a temporary fix on the garage door but at least it is closed and locked. Luckily we were talking when I closed the garage door and it jammed so I didn't even need to panic! xx
DeleteWhat a wonderful week you've had! I'm so glad to read that your sister has been given the all clear! Such great news! You have a very helpful neighbor in S! Um, about that white rose...is it the one growing next to the red rose? Or the climbing one? Seems like it has decided it wants to be more colorful than white! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. Everything pales into insignificance after hearing my sister's news ... just the best new ever.
DeleteNo this rose is on the other side of the garden. The one next to the red rose starts yellow/cream and turns to white. This one is a rambler/climber and the buds are apricot to start with, then pink and yellow appear and finally it fades to white. It's just a bit of a show off!
Fantastic news about your sister! You must be so pleased.
ReplyDeleteGlad you've had such a good week, Blods
Thanks Blods, it's the best news ever and the highlight of the week.
DeleteHow wonderful for your sister! This is great news. Your "white" rose is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Celine, it's fantastic news.
