A ROSE BY ANY NAME...

Pam and I are just back from our trip to Queenstown on New Zealand's South Island and took lots of photos while we were there.  We have a travel blog at http://sisterhoodofthetravellingrants.blogspot.com.au/ with more photos if you want to look there. 
The sweet little rose above was taken in nearby Arrowtown at the rear of a restored miner's cottage which was converted to a convent for Sisters of St Joseph by Saint Mary McKillop when she lived in the village in the late 1890's. 
The people of Arrowtown have a bit of a love affair with roses and you can take a walking tour of the town's best roses during the season.
