Strange that this rose bush doesn't realize it's November and shouldn't be blooming now. Apparently it doesn't care about things such a calendar propriety. There it is blooming away like it's June! Shameless plant. All the other plants have ceased to bloom. All the other plants have begun to die back and retreat into the earth. Why, even the trees have changed their garments and begun to strip themselves of their gaudy garb! Who does this rose bush think it is? Fancies itself a conifer I imagine. Ha! And yet....and yet, look it. Beautiful in spite of the overcast day that doesn't for one second diminish it's beauty. Look how she laughs at the weather! Look how proud and beautiful she is! She is her own being. Oh my, I do believe I admire this brazen scarlet beauty. She is strength. She is anarchy.
