Thank you very much Joanna - the rose is a David Austin Rose called the May Flower - and the teacup was a gift from my parents (I collect old china). The photo is part of a series for my 2013 calendar (given to friends and family for Christmas).

You're welcome, Annette. I'm also an admirer of Austin's English roses, and I love china.

Your calendar Christmas gift idea is very special.
