| Rosa 'Zephirine Drouhin' 12 December 2025 |
On an otherwise rainy and grey day seeing Rosa ‘Zephirine Drouhin’ doing its best to open I instantly remembered the words hope and glory. They are a title of film about war-time Britain by film director John Boorman whom I photographed.

His portrait which breaks all the rules of good portraiture is still one of my best. Somehow the bloom and the portrait go hand in hand in bringing a bright spot to the day.
Will this be the last rose of the year? I just might be surprised. There is that hope.
