We enjoyed a warm Fall, but now the cold air is moving in and what had escaped the earlier cool nights is now getting frosted. I went out today to see what had survived and found the last rose of summer still bright red for one last day. Some of the others around it were wilting from the frost we had last night.
Frosty air arrives
Last rose of summer still smiles
Tomorrow she’ll die
Leaves shiver // aged overnight
Winter’s knocking on the door

Most people don’t like the seeds so generally make rosehip jelly or pie or syrup.

I took a few photos of the last roses of summer, too- now a little bit of snow has covered the plants and the weather has officially shifted! But just 1-2 weeks ago, there were still a couple of roses.

Relatable. I breathed a heavy sigh as I scrapped the frost off my car this morning! Missing the soft and sweet scents of summer.

Alas, it’s time for all beautiful things to go to sleep for the winter. See them in the spring!
