Description
Another rose from Wight's Nursery in Lynnwood, Washington.
This one made me think of a 30-year-old woman, in a sheath and a chignon, presiding over a Junior League tea. There's something a little old-fashioned and East Coast about this. It reminds me of my grandmother. (Quite truthfully, she was a bit of a snob!)
I seem to have quite a few roses ready to post. Maybe I'll just put up a whole bunch in a row. Let me know if it gets to be too much! They're like a rich dessert. At some point you just have to stop!

This lady was a debutante years ago, and has since been around the ballroom quite often! The colouring on the outer petals, suggesting age, is lovely, and there is certainly a richness and a heritage showing here........ What a gorgeous dowager this is!

beautiful rose, i never get flowers...keep posting!
The subtle background add a nice touch to this beautiful delicate flower. Excellent!
You picked a real winner of a rose to shoot. The broad low cup is elegant as are the delicate blushed petals. The clarity is marvelous and the dark background helps to pop this rose out nicely. Really outstanding.
Perfect picture ...I love it...the black background really looks nice....I can smell it.
This is beautiful, I really like the dark background, it brings out the flower. I just love to come to your gallery to see what you have next!
Beautiful rose! Am looking forward to the rest of them! Love the background on this as well! And the colour and detail in the petals...

A lovely gentle image!
Exquisite macro of an exquisite flower! Love the POV, soft colors, detail, light/shadow, and multitude of curved petals circling about the core. And, because of their tremendous variety, I never tire of looking at roses.
I could never get tired if they are all as beautiful and presented as lovely as this one.
Beautiful soft colors and lighting!
The black backgound really sets off this wonderful rose, which does look a bit vintage and elegant. What a great color around the outside of this rose!
