Picked some of my heirloom roses earlier today. It's so late in the year that I'm surprised they had a chance to bloom. But with the unseasonable warm weather the past few weeks some plants are putting off hibernating a little longer than normal..

Normally I'm a big believer of allowing them to stay on the bush and enjoying them live but with winter coming I wanted to preserve them.

I'm neither a expert gardner nor a photographer but still wanted to share.
