Bloom Day—are you kidding?
Seriously, the place is a hellhole. Roof grit and dust everywhere, plywood everywhere, 2 x4s everywhere, ladders everywhere, tarp everywhere. I could go on but won’t depress you. Nonetheless, I went out there with my camera—one thing, it’s quite warm, mid-50s—and got a few snappies. Most are over at Garden Rant (or will be as of 11/15), but at top you see what I suppose should be the last rose of summer (David Austin, Charlotte), though never say never. I also am getting some nice action from my houseplants. Cyclamens seem to be foolproof rebloomers; I’ve had one pink one for nine years. This is a newer red one. Lots of growth on the paperwhites—maybe I'll have some for next GBBD.

The whole idea of construction scares me, but almost everyone has to put up with it sooner or later. I hope your garden recovers!

I also have Abraham Darby, which is much more heavily scented.
