Hope, wherever you are, that the weather is being kind to you.
The snow doesn’t seem to let the snow discourage its beauty
Correction: The snow doesn’t seem to let the rose discourage its beauty.
…and vice versa!
Gorgeous pics!!
Roses and snow are a classic combination.
Oh my! It looks beautiful but I don’t imagine the roses will do too well with this. Thanks for sharing these photos though it is something special to see them under the snow.
A blanket of snow can often protect a rose in a cold climate over the winter, funnily enough. This snow won’t last more than a day or so.
How beautiful!
I could hardly wait to share these.
There is a lot of mystery with the ice and roses.
Roses seem very romantic when they linger on into the snow – as if their tenderness defies the weather.
Roses in the snow! More weather weirding!
In general, you’re right, although most years I have seen frosty roses and rose buds. The best repeaters will flower right up to the frosts in England.
Those certainly are pretty, but I would not have guessed that it would have snowed there already! Is this early?
It’s very early and an unusually thick covering. Benji laid a 2,000 mile blanket of snow from Mexico to New York City.
Stunning.
It was exciting to wake up and see it snowing outside. We hadn’t expected more than a light frosting.
Seems so odd for snow to be on roses lol
I like the effect – I’ve seen many frost covered roses, but these were in 5″ or so of snow.
