Flowers in My Late Autumn Garden

Mother's Love rose has to be my current favorite. The softness of the pink is relaxing, and the abundance of blooms makes it like a bouquet of in the border.

While gardeners in the northern hemisphere are enjoying the first rose blooms of Spring and Summer, my Australian roses are putting on its last display before the chill of winter sets in.

Love the deep shabby chic pink of this romantic rose.

I think this is a Dorothy Perkins fairy rose. The way the blooms fade as they age gives an ombre effect which is so charming.

Although it isn't a bloom, I'm adding this coleus because it's a splash of pink which brighten up this spot. The white geranium has almost finished flowering.

Although a lot of shrubs and perennials are shutting up shop for the winter, the camellia's are just beginning to start their stunning displays. I can't be without them to add winter cheer. This pretty pink sasanqua variety is the first to start flowering in my garden.

No matter how cold it gets, while I can see the bobbing heads of pretty pink flowers from my kitchen window, I'll always feel the pull to rug up and get out into the garden so I can enjoy these lovely flowers close up.
