Rounding the Year: A Hot May Brings Early Wild Roses
This beautiful white wild rose bloomed to perfection in my garden this week – almost a month earlier than last year. This isn’t particularly unseasonal – according to the Woodland Trust, they normally flower from May to June – but it is a tiny bit premature. The reason has to be the hot weather we’ve had from late April onwards. In fact May 1 was tipped to be the hottest on record.
I do love warm days, but it’s also a sign that climate change is a real environment problem. We can all do a little bit more to help keep our cities and towns cool, such as using cars less often if possible, or at least turning engines off when traffic isn’t moving. If you have a garden, fill it with plants, trees and flowers rather than use concrete, boarding or fake grass as outside ground cover. It doesn’t matter if it grows a bit wild.
In previous posts I’ve blogged about the folklore of wild roses. You can read about that in my Rounding the Wheel post on June 11 last year.
Sharing seasonal photos
Inspired by ideas in my book Rounding the Wheel of the Year, I share seasonal pictures, art, crafts, words and customs as well as a record of what’s happening in nature.
