I can’t help it … when I take a macro photo of a roses petals that looks like this I think of it as Rose P0rn. Honestly, it’s pictures like this one that get me through our long cold Canadian winters.
This rose is called “Breath of Life” and it’s a climbing Hybrid Tea. I think it’s one of my prettiest roses, at least when I have camera in hand as I don’t think I’ve ever taken a bad picture of this rose.
I’ll look forward to looking at this picture in January or February when it’s below zero, snowing and the wind is howling outside the house. It will make me think if summer and remind me that warm days will soon return.

How lovely – you do great macro picture and I do agree: the rose is very seductive and we need that warm feeling trough the Norwegian winter too you know 😉
beautiful rose, I agree about the long cold Canadian winters
A great close-up, Tricia.
Ha! I hear ya. We are actally going to move our roses. The sheep ate them when they got out a few weeks ago. Thank goodness they came back.
I like your new theme!
Rose porn-bwah!
I thin that image would look gorgeous slightly enlarged and put in a black frame. I can picture the softest pink of pinks contrasting with the stark frame and I think it would be beautiful. Then you can put it on your desk for the long winter months.
I have some Climatis growing I love them when there in bloom I wish they would stay longer. Thanks for the beauiful picture of this rose.
lovely. the image captures the sense of softness of that rose. 🙂
