Description
I was thinking the rose may not open because of the several hard freezes we had recently this month. I noticed just now that it did bloom.
unfortunately we have a very strong wind and I was not able to get a sharp picture. our forecast is for the mid 70's F. Our low last night was 66 F
I saved it very large, if you want to open to full screen

It looks so cool up close! And I like how textured the petals got from the freezes--what crazy weather, though!
But very beautiful!
Very cool. Sounds like a beautiful day too. Mid 40's in PA and sunny. Not bad for December.
Nice opening flower, merry christmas.
Nature is a marvelously tenacious thing. We had a water lily bloom in late November with the temperatures in the 30's. What a fabulous Christmas gift!
how sweet!

Looks so wonderful! Love the Colors. I wish a merry Christmas and a happy New Year for you and yours.
Yes, its amazing to see this beauty in full size, the veins in each petal are grandiose. The background is an added bonus.
It is beautiful!
Amazing beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same phenomenon with a rose in my garden. The rosebush was a gift from my husband's mother who passed away some years ago. Thus we have the feeling that she is still with us this Christmas :-) Great capture, especially with the poor weather conditions you mentioned !
Kind of amazing, isn't it?

Tough little bugger.

This is a very beautiful!
very nice looking rose I think could have done with a little more DOF and higher shutter speed.I think A canon 5D mark 3 should be ok with iso above 1000
Very sturdy and beautiful looking rose.
Thanks for sharing.
