Changing Colour - Mister Lincoln rose

Here are a few more photos of our Mr Lincoln rose over summer 2015. Previously, I had some photos where it was a very nice deep red colour but I did mention that it changes shade with the weather.

This was the bloom when the weather was very harsh, extremely hot. I don't think this flower developed fully as there are much less petals than it should have. Also, it is almost a bright pink!

Here is a full size photo of the standard to show the size of the bloom. This was much fuller but still not a perfect shade.

Although we did get quite a few blooms over summer, I think the weather was too unpredictable to get very nice flowers. They also did not last very long, however they were quite upright on the stem. We have now pruned it back so hopefully will get some nice blooms next season.
