I've never been a serious rose photographer primarily because my master gardener hasn't grown them all that much. But this one is on a fence line on an easement behind our house and last winter a maintenance crew came through and pretty much cut it down to a stump. I asked Chrissy if she would attempt to rehabilitate it and this is the result. I consider Phil and Larry Lynch to be the rose masters of the gallery so I use them as my standard of excellence. Hope I got close with this one. Please view LARGE. All comments welcome.>=))>

Sweet, especially the bud. The dark BG does the job of making the whole plant dominant. The aquamarine cast of the OOF and one in focus leaves could stand warming up some. However, good as is.

Bill the large version is splendid! I am sure that Larry will be enthusiast for this colorful image. He may suggest to clone che half leaf in the bottom.
