    Yes a lovely Rose :)

    Rose named in honour of Natasha Richardson

    A rose named after the late actress Natasha Richardson was launched in aid of charity.

    The 45-year-old died earlier in 2009 after a skiing accident in Canada.

    She was married to Liam Neeson and had two sons.

    Her mother the oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave, said her daughter celebrated her birthday in May when the Chelsea show is on.

      Thank you Woo,
      Jenny
      have you preened all your feathers and manicured your claws?
      And polished your beak?
      re : things to do on a rainy day,

            Those three look very sturdy and the leaves are still good. Do they get fed chook poo?

                Despite snow on high ground today and the cold below, the roses are still managing to put out the occasional flower. 'Lincolnshire Yellow Belly' minus it's deep pink edging.......well I can't expect miracles at this time of year, can I? :)

                    It's amazing the fight that they put up against the elements Loli. The snow's gone but I don't think they'll have any petals left after the winds later. :doh:

                          I haven't 'frosted' petals/flowers for years. I can remember topping a 'death by chocolate' cake for my daughters birthday years ago with frosted wild primroses, very pretty! :)
