I showed last week the roses this month brought me on the east side of the roof garden. But there were lots elsewhere up there too. In the bed in the middle one of the earliest plants I had put there had a lovely pink to purple blossom, and I show it full on to begin with, and at the end too as I bent over it.

In the bed on the south west corner, the two bushes of baby roses continue to do well, the yellow one now showing white blossoms too, along with the little white one in the corner under the seat. Then there are white roses also in the pot on the east, which I did not show last week. These are seen against the purple impatiens which continues to throw out blossoms in profusion.

These last roses were however on their way out, as were the roses on the plant Anuruddha gave me which is in the middle of the big basin, next to the pink rose I showed to begin with. But even in age they show what a lovely sight they must have been a few days earlier.

In the next basin along there was just a single rose, but it is worth showing for its colour. And after that I have another burst of colour in one of the cotton plants on the east side.

Altogether a feast, making me marvel at how well these flowers do up there, with no shelter at all from terrific rain and blazing sun.
