A Certain Rose In The Cold

I took these pictures last year because I've been meaning to post something about it, and then entirely forgot to do so. This rose bloomed during winter last year, 2014. It amused me since no flower should be blooming at this time (obviously), yet it did. I placed two more roses bushes beside this one because we built a porch and things had to be moved around. 

I don't know why I even bothered posting about it. I guess it's some sort of sign, or an inspiration...that despite a withering environment, one can still bloom until it eventually hibernates before the year closes. It's that one last show of beauty and color before everything turns white. Yeah, sure.
