A Rose

Gallery: FloraPosted September 5, 201072 views16 comments

With over 5,000 rose plants, it's easy to get overwhelmed when everything is in bloom at the Portland Rose Garden. This variety had a number and letter code for a name, as it's not in commercial production.

Taken this morning with a 5DII, 180mm macro, 1/4 sec @ f/22.

Beautiful colors, Richard. Could easily be mistaken for a painting.

Beautiful rose and photo! I like dof on the edges. I like the yellow contrasting the red...might even be tempted to crop the rt side. Nice control of the reds
