Borrowed Time Roses

SOLD
So far I have not yet had a killing frost in my yard...highly unusual. Most of my neighbors have, but for some reason just my yard has been spared, perhaps because I am on a hill covered with Oak Trees. These roses are still blooming. Every day I see them is like one more gift of twenty four hours. All the leaves have fallen and the temperature is in the thirties at night, yet still they hang on...I love that.

Same here in my Eastern Pennsylvania garden...I have about eight or so rose bushes that continue to produce a few gems that lift my spirits every time I walk through the garden.
I even have a Clematis blooming out there.
