Gorgeous! Love the green bg and the color of the rose. Just how does one grow roses without holes in the leaves? (Please don't tell me chemicals!)

No chemicals, just lots of flowers to choose from. This is from a carpet rose of mine and there are probably 500 blooms right now.

Thanks for the answer. 500 blooms?! I would love to see your flower garden!!!!

reminds me of an illustration in an old botanical textbook. very nice. I like how you left at least one thorn in the image.

I just checked the plant and I understated the number of blooms. It looks like it's closer to 1500. These are small flowers that usually grow in clumps of 5 to 10.

I have lots of flowers but there are lots of weeds too. :D

Hi Ken Really Sweet !!! Had to stop and look at this one for a while !! Great feel and so well composed !! .. do you use any reflectors for adding light?

[Bob Miller]

Very nice blend of colors and softness...I too like the thorn!

Hey Al, it's window light on the right and there are pieces of white foam core behind and to the left.

Beautiful color combination, very well composed. The torn is just perfect!:) Like it a lot!

[Julie Kenward]

Beautiful image, Ken! Love the composition most of all but I might consider slicing just a little off both sides to tighten it up a bit more.

Hey Ken, great painted feel. Love the details, lighting, and cool color combination.

I just ordered one of these rose bushes. I understand about the weeds.
