A hasty pruning before an imminent downpour

It’s too early for pruning, technically speaking.  Purists would tut.
But I figured the rain was just about to decimate them anyway.  It was a rescue mission.

So; y’know that moment when you’re poised in the act of clicking the shutter on your perfectly lovely and Hallmark-worthy still-life of Blooms with Pretty Tea-cup  … ?

22 Thoughts on “A hasty pruning before an imminent downpour

  1. It is just about to pour here too, what a timely rescue mission. Your flowers are beautiful, but I do like your photobomber ;).

  2. Gorgeous rescue mission and the photobomber is great!

  3. Beautiful roses.

  4. I think it's perfectly right to take the flowers off before the rain comes, particularly with such lovely roses. You gotta loves boys who photobomb!

  5. The photobomber made it a Hallmark moment! Gotta love a family with sense of humour and playful spirt, it made for my favourite photo of the bunch. Oh and roses matching that tea cup perfectly made for a great photo too.

  6. Roses are my favourite flower, especially the scented ones. Much better to enjoy them inside than let the rain ruin them outside.

  7. They're beautiful! I think when I get my own place, I'm going to have to plant rose bushes because no one seems to believe me when I say how much I love them.

  8. Lovely blooms! Gorgeous.

  9. Those are gorgeous! Great save. I bet your kitchen smells lovely now. The photobombed makes it look like a fun home.

  10. How gorgeous! I love roses.

  11. Just in the nick of time. Enjoy! Jo xx

  12. He is such a naughty lad ;0)
    The roses are fab.

  13. I do understand having a photo bomber in the house:) I'm so glad you brought your beautiful roses in from the rain. Thank you for sharing them.

  14. Love it! Aren't kids great! Your roses are gorgeous and look similar to our Peace Roses we grow here. Though ours don't bloom anywhere near as prolific as it looks like you're lucky to have.

  15. Those saturated colours are gorgeous – I can just about smell them all the way over here in Edinburgh! Love the photobomb! Rachel ☺

  16. Just lovely. There's something about the shadows on the second photo that have just made my day! Thank you!

  17. Pretty, pretty! What kind of rose is it? I never pick mine anymore because the cats decimate and drag around the house anything I put in vases, sniff.

  18. They are gorgeous!! Definitely appropriate for Hallmark. If I could do moving gifs I'd have those two pix flashing back in forth (one with your photobomber and one without).

  19. LOVE those gorgeous pink, peach, and orange colors. Roses don't do so well here, but every year I have to dash out and save our beautiful peonies before they get smashed down to the ground by a heavy rainfall.

  20. Those are so gorgeous! I just loved the downpour we had and so did the garden…and so did the weeds 🙂

  21. Lol! But these are so beautiful. I smiled to see them. Also, just wanted to share we had hail last week. In May!

  22. Sooo gorgeous Carolyn!! The last picture is very funny!!!
