Neighbourhood rose competition - week 1

Hi Leanne here.

How fabulous are the neighbourhood roses? Have they always been this good? Or is it just that I now have the time to stop and smell (and photograph) them?

I saw some spectacular blooms this week. So here’s my pick (please note I have no formal training in this whatsoever! And when I say it’s a competition, it’s not really, I’m the judge, and the only way you can enter is by me passing by your fence. And then by me noticing your flowers - so in truth it’s all pretty random). But I hope you enjoy them too!

Runner up. A Fairfield entry. It’s quite lovely and gentle.

The winner. From Northcote. What do you think? The colour is amazing I reckon.
