9 days of 40+ C and this bud of Chrysler Imperial opened today.
I have a lot of fried rose blooms and some that are ok.

What a beautiful image, Sheila! The color is magnificent, and the light perfect. Certainly must be a very hearty rose to have survived the heat so well!

Astonishing how it can come out of the oven and yet look so cool :0)

This seems so far removed at the moment - how beautiful for you. Ditto Ann - it's always extremes, no happy medium.
