Harlequin Rose by Adam Gormley

The opening of a Harlequin Rose, this beautiful flower turns red after full bloom, I thought it was strange that the other full roses on the plant were red, and this opening bud was orange. After talking to the owner, found out they actually change colour.. Taken in a provate garden of a Northern Brisbane suburb, Queensland. Canon 5D Mk II, 65mm, 1:1. Available Very large, and best viewed Large!

Exquisite by Sviatlana

One of my roses which I have in my garden. Columbus discovered America because of a rose! It is written that on October 11, 1492, while becalmed in the Sargasso See, one of the crewmen picked a rose branch from the water. This sign of land renewed their hope for survival and gave the seafarers the courage to continue on to the New World.
