A favourite rose in our garden is a beautiful rich red rose which provides beautiful blooms for Christmas time is our Crimson Bouquet 'Korbeteilich' Hybrid Tea Rose. 

We are no specialized rose gardeners, but find it a very rewarding rose to have in the Garden.

It is very easy to look after and I find it likes a prune in late winter, a good feed in early spring, and a drop or two of water when dry in summer. The flowers are generous in size, abundant, and a deep crimson red. After a night of light but persistent drizzle this December I snapped these photos, and would like to share with readers.

A little gem at a time when our weather was less than fair to us hanging out for some warmer days at the time...and now still going strong through the festive season. If Santa was a lady I am sure she would have appreciated a bunch of these to decorate the sleigh on it's travels.
