Sun scorched Roses
The exceptional heat this week combined with the persistent drought had a dramatic effect on the roses. Although they are producing blooms at quite a rapid rate the dry heat seemed to simply melt their petals yielding rather interesting effects. Some of them look like potpourri on a stem!

Beautiful end of evening to you.
Thx! They really did struggle in the heat but continue to bloom.
Beautiful! May I use your photos as reference for my paintings?
