Lake Erie: August 21, 2010

Port Stanley: Harbour – 4:15 PM. Settling in for an evening and perhaps a night of rain.

Port Stanley: 4:15 PM. My roses love the rain. This one is "Graham Thomas" a David Austin English Shrub Rose.  I recommend this one and most of the David Austin roses for easy care, glorious colours, lushious scent and repeat blooming through the summer. Another great one to start with is "Abraham Darby"  which is fairly common in garden centres around here.
