Roses in Winter

Hi, how are you all doing? Hope you are having a good week.
Some ladies have asked me why I still have roses in the middle of winter.
The reason is our winter is reasonably mild and there's been sunshine even though there has been dark and cloudy rainy days.
I think the combination of sunshine and water is a pretty good recipe for flowers.
I have been bringing them in for the vases.
Things are still green outside, not as many flowers though.
I've been blessed with all these roses. This one below is called China Doll, I have it as a Tree Rose. It always has multiple blooms on each single branch , never just single flower or two.
You can see it clearer here.

Some more photos, hope you like them.........
Till next time! Have a great week!

I adore roses. They are my absolute favorite. I'm thinking of planting yellow and pink rose bushes in my yard. However, I've heard they are high maintance. Do you have any suggestions on what type have worked well for you?

Such beautiful blooms. Our Winter here on the Mornington peninsula has been the harshest for a while, so not many roses for me
