The blooms nestling in my fruit bowl full of windfalls are from a David Austin rose called The Pilgrim, which was given to me by my mum over 13 years ago. It always does well, has a fruity, tea rose, scent and and has bloomed as late as Christmas in the past - if early snow doesn't freeze it's darling buds!
Alas it will be another 10 months, at least, before we see any of the Chalkhill Blue butterflies that love our Hampshire slopes and are on today's featured card.
