I recall proclaiming the warm months of 2019

"The year of the Rose"

Prospect Park Brooklyn last Summer.

As some recall that summer was the season of Roses.

In this area since colonial times.

Roses every several years have a great blooming!

They seem shy, and hibernate other times.

I haven't been out much this season. Not many of us have.

I've noted some roses, but nothing like last year.

Sadly we will have to wait a while till

the next great blooming.
