Charlee: “It’s snow roses!”
Chaplin: “What do you mean it’s no roses? Clearly there are roses right there.”
Charlee: “I didn’t say it’s no roses, I said it’s snow roses.”
Chaplin: “Well now you’re just repeating yourself.”
In this short time, it’s gotten freezing (you are familiar with the phenomenon.) They are calling for ice and frozen roads tonight and places are closing early. How long til spring?
I always love taking pictures of roses in the snow! Around the corner from my house, a guy never cuts his roses down… I thank him quietly as I snap away.
Beautiful image, my friend!
Understood. There are a few really nice rose bushes on my walks but they are right next to a boulevard. Every year I am tempted to pick them, every year, I end up not. I suppose I could soak them and get all the pollution out of them… maybe?
I wanted to make rosehip jelly…
Basically, you mix the hips with apples. But no, I would not order any. If ever I do grow more of my own roses, I might consider it – I know the city doesn’t spray them but the pollution side of things makes it yucky.
You’d probably know far better than me on making them. I can only imagine who tasty rosehip jelly would taste on a nice biscuit. It seems like the kind of stuff dreams are made of.
Those blooms tells the story of what the weather has been like here. Warm enough to bloom and with snow and ice, frozen in time. It kind of blew me away.
I shall dub this one “Love In Winter”.
Ooh, I rather like that! Good one, Marc.
That is perfect!
Thanks, it was pretty cool seeing roses in January, even if they were frozen.

You tell her, Chaplin! ๐
Very lovely. It’s been so warm here that leaves are popping out on some vines and bushes.
Holy cow! The only thing popping out here are snowballs and ice cycles. Hope you stay safe and warm with the front moving across the country.

Hopefully it’s a short duration on the storm.
Absolutely splendid. The rose is trying to survive.

Thank you. Itโs as if it was preserved in ice.
Faded glory. Something I am familiar with these days.
That’s a lovely composition…and the colours meld together so well.
Thank you. Not your average view in January in Denver, thatโs for sure.
Perfect example……….perfect photo……….perfectly PERFECT!
Hugs, Pam
Goshโฆthank you! โบ๏ธ
what a delicate color against the blue white snow
Just a tiny pop of color that caught my passing eye. If Iโd been on the other side of the street, Iโd have totally missed it.
What a great juxtaposition, Monika.
Why thank you, John. It sure caught my eye!
One word to describe yore fot: PURRFECTION!

Aww, you’re too kind. Thank you! Happy Hump Day ๐ช
One word response: Colorado!
So true! It’s always had wide swings, but this was something truly wild.
Marvelous! Very cool (so to speak) juxtaposition.
Thanks. It really struck me as quite interesting.
Roses can hang in there very well. Such a beautiful shot.
Have a fabulous day, my friend. Scritches to the pups, a smooch to Norman and a big hug to you. โฅ
Thank you, Sandee. Never in my wildest dreams would I expect to see frozen rose blooms in January! Happy mid-week.
This is an amazing photo with a contrast between freezing cold snow and a pink rose, love it.
Thank you. It really struck me as something beyond unusual this week. It’s like those blooms are frozen in time.
The last rose of summer, it still smells sweet does it not?
VERY sweet. I walked the dogs passed it and then went back to look at it more closely. Incredible!

Beautiful image, my friend!
No doubt the birds enjoy the hips in winter too. I’ve never seen blooming roses in January. Especially in the snow!
No doubt they do! And wow. That, I’ve not seen!
Around here bird will nosh on some rose hips in the winter which explains the whole rose-hip tea thing. ๐

I wanted to make rosehip jelly…
Whoa…I suspect that might take more than a few hips to get any amount of jelly. Pollution & pesticides might not make harvesting them practical. I’d probably go with a commercial supplier like this one: https://www.bulkapothecary.com/rose-hips/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAoNWOBhCwARIsAAiHnEiJQtHZgjhwyHf_f69K_m4vWS2WZJHlVQvleUstN576JqxprwDh4vYaAgvHEALw_wcB

Oh, I dunno. but when I make some, I’ll be sure to send you some!
You’re too sweet! ๐ฅฐ
I do try ๐ ๐
it has something from a fairy tale… happy wednesday ;O)
So strange to see blooming roses and snow in January!
Poor cold roses!
Those blooms tells the story of what the weather has been like here. Warm enough to bloom and with snow and ice, frozen in time. It kind of blew me away.
