My wife loves roses.

We have tried to grow rose bushes at our house on multiple occasions.

We have not been successful.

We look for beautiful plants.

Then we dig a hole in the ground and plant them.

WE had one bush that was clinging to life for a few years.

Each year it would grow one small new branch and get a tiny flower.

Then that one finally fully died.

I think we have given up on planting rose bushes for now.

But I have enjoyed having them for photography subjects close to home while we had them.

Photo details: Nikon D300. Nikon 60mm f/2.8. Focal length 60mm. ISO 400. 1/5000 sec. f/3.5.

Thank you for joining me on the blog today for a look at a Rose.
