I had to do some significant pruning of the hybrid tea rose bush in the garden and was concerned about how it would recover in the drought. I am very happy to see that it is coping and producing lovely blooms again.

Another lovely addition to the garden is this hybrid tea rose. It has the loveliest pinkish-yellow-orange shading when it starts to bloom and then becomes the palest yellow to deep pink as it peaks.

The pink variety has a more subtle shade which led me to take softer focused shots with a more ‘arty’ feel.

L.A. hybrids are a cross between longiflorum lilies and Asiatic hybrids. They are known for their bright colours and good vase life. This orange variety has a strikingly vivid hue.
