Still blooming, despite the frosts and the fact that it's 18 November - and to be totally honest, the rose bush has about ten full flowers and a few buds still on it.

I would ask if this is global warming - but given the temperature at the moment and the determination of most things in my garden to grow and need attention whatever the time of year, I suspect I've just got a particularly stubborn plant that refuses to think about winter!
