The winds picked up here yesterday and got to about 30km and above by nightfall. The rain quickly followed during the day, firstly a steady stream and then the heavens opened.
It was good for the garden and for us, so that we didn't need to put in the two hours of watering that is required.. But, I watched helplessly as the wind blew the rose bushes hither and dither.
Today, the weather itself is a bit better, no rain, but plenty of clouds around. But the wind seems to have gathered momentum and keeps on blowing.
I walked around the garden this morning just to check whether there was any damage. There doesn't seem to be, but again, I am worried about the roses. I practically got blown back into the house when I came in to get a pair of scissors so that I can cut some roses and bring them in rather than lose them to the wind.
Some roses have already been damaged but I thought by bringing them in, the perfume will fill the air and at least we can enjoy it a little longer.
Here are some of the roses I have picked.
I need to tie down the rambling roses soon, but I think I might leave it for another day.....

Your flowers look great. Our roses are always getting torn up by the weather.
