Description

The plot next to mine on the allotments hasn't been worked this year.
A rose bush has grown enormous and I would say about 8 foot tall now. Hense the blue background with this image.
Taken the one day we saw a bit of blue sky!

Weekend yet again and it looks like another wet one.
A big thanks to all who comment or vote. Most appreciated.

A super capture and presentation, Barbs, it's amazing that an uncared for rose can flourish so well. Carol

The blue background is perfect, Barbara. The plot holder would have had a warning letter from our secretary by now and 4 weeks later would be off the plot!! The waiting list is far too long to waste a plot.

Allotments are like gold dust here - what a shame this one isn't being used. But it has produced this beauty.

The work no doubt was done some years ago to let this rose look after itself a while. I wonder what the story is behind the neglected plot?

With height like that the sky inevitably came into play affording a nice backdrop to the rose, Barbara.
