the worm within the bud


Actually, I don't really think this is invisible worm damage to this Blakean Sick Rose - more like very hungry greenfly.  This is Wedgwood, a David Austin rose that succumbed entirely to various forms of floral-hating blight last year.  This time round, I doused it in soap and water a month or so back; and it's just had another round of Neem oil.  It has a number of buds at different stages of opening, and I have hope for some of them, even if others look a little wan and drooping (rather like me, at whatever point of the endless semester we've got to).
