A spring rose in summer
This rose plant near where I live surprised me with this flower. I thought it was done at least until the autumn after the rains in may ruined its spring flowers, and the plant itself developed some spots that may be a fungal disease called rust or just weather damage (I'm not sure what butrns from sun after rain re supposed to look like on rose plants). Somebody had even cut off the hopelessly damaged branches, but there was enough left to go into bloom now and then.
Photos from 23 June; alas, I didn't have my camera with me the previous evening when the flower still looked its best.
A closer look at the flower (oops, edited to insert the right photo):

P. S. puddleshark, this is one of the "spring roses" I mentioned to you once.
