Roses galore

My oldest rose plant is producing an abundance of flowers this year. The picture above is the second flowering of this summer. The blooms are so many that the branches are bowing over. I should really remove some of the flowers else the branches will snap especially if it rains. But it seems such a pity to cut off the buds, besides I'm already having trouble keeping up with dead heading the ones that have gone over!

The present from the plant every morning, littered all over the lawn!
