This rose was in its full glory when my husband walked by the front yard of a home in Pacific Grove, CA. It's always refreshing for us to visit places where flowers flourish in a gentler climate. Occasional rains, lots of fog and frequent sunshine encourage large blooms and breathtaking varieties.
This is a perfect rose, Carol!!! I love that little bit of yellow peeking through..very nice!!
ReplyDeleteHilda, thank you so much. The colors on the original rose were bright, yet soft. Does that make sense? Hope I captured a little of that.
DeleteThis one is lovely also Carol. It almost has a velvety quality to it-very delicate. Roses are so beautiful and varied aren't they? Great subject matter and they can be different every time.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the comment, Libby. I agree that roses are so varied - lots of colors and shades of colors as well as patterns. They are remarkable. Thank you.
DeleteI love the colors in this rose. It reminds me of the roses from the rose bush that my son gave me for Mother's day last year. You've really captured the softness of the petals.
ReplyDeleteHi Melanie! So nice to hear from you. Sounds like your son chose a perfect gift for Mother's Day! I imagine it's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for writing!
