ColourChallenge: MondayRed

Rosa 'Nostalgia' - like strawberries & cream in every petal. Good enough to eat!

I gave this very bush to my mum for Mothering Sunday a few years before she died. She'd kept it in a pot near the house where she could see it as her fading health stopped her enjoying her own garden. Dad (not a gardener) wanted me to take it and nurture it after we lost her.

It has pride of place now in my new shrubbery, where the leaf cutter bees also use its foliage for their nests. Nurturing paid forward

Hope you like it too - it's my first 'Colorchallenge' post.... great idea by @kalemandra.
