A Faded Rose

I love the way this rose changes color as it fades away. It is one of the Hybrid Teas that were in the circle when we bought the house 12 years ago. Amazingly still going despite my careless attitude toward these high maintenance plants

 In the background below you can see the pale apricot color when it first blooms & the tiny flowers of Persicaria 'Red Dragon'

The Mexican Bush Sage are the tall purple spikes below & run away Hardy Ageratum is behind the rose at right.

The pale yellow Chrysanthemum 'Ryan's Yellow' colors similarly as it ages as does Rosa mutabilis.
