I was caught off guard today by rain. I knew there was a storm coming in later this week, but the worst predicted for today was a 10% chance of rain and "partly cloudy." About 3am, I heard my 14 year old cat, Rocky, meowing to come in. When I let him in he was damp-ish and I could hear the rain falling gently outside. It has rained lightly and misted all day. I love this weather......especially as it is a treat here in California. I thought of a picture in my flower collection that will work perfectly for today. It is another rose, the Rosomane Janon. It is quite a hoity toity rose and even has its own web page! It was created by two gentlemen, one from France -- Dominique Massad and one from New Zealand -- Jocelen Janon.

They developed this rose and this is how they describe it:
'Rosomane Janon' is a rose with an average height, not taller than 1 meter, with a green matt foliage and is very resistant to diseases.It bears perfumed flowers with a cupped form, reminiscent of some Bourbon roses, which repeats through the season.The colour is a light yellow infused with green 'Chartreuse', tinting itself with a pink colour which becomes darker as the flower opens.

Enjoy and until tomorrow, I will say "Bon soir."
