I went out before dawn, and my rose tour was slightly extended by some wispy clouds that even after sunrise kept the light from being too bright.

My favorite of the morning’s finds might be this bush. The buds are orange, and the open flowers start out orange and fade to a lovely pink blend.

This one at left when fully open still kept a couple of darker splotches like smears of lipstick.

All these warm hues made for quite a glowing bush, as busy and bright as the sun.
