This is a rose that grows in my yard in Asheville.  I had made a photo of a bloom on this bush the previous
summer that I liked, but wasn't quite sharp enough to suit me (although my wife likes it).  That one has a
dissipated, faded quality to it, and was taken just after a hard rain, so it had lots more water on it.  I have never
been able to get past the lack of sharpness, so I generally don't show it.  This is a bloom from the same plant
after a more gentle rain.  It has an undeniable sensuality, and is sharp enough, though I think I'll try again in the
spring.
As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a white
mat.  If you would like to
order unframed prints, go
to the "Purchase" page for
pricing.
