We dont get so many roses in our garden in January in the Northern Hemisphere so when a bundle of fresh fleshy pink cups of scented beauty arrive in the garden after Christmas it seems so extra special.
 
This one is simply beautiful. As roses are, this work is full and exuberant. The roses fill the canvas and overflow their frame; the blue cold of winter finds itself being smothered by the reds and pinks of roses in January.
