The Rose Family
By Robert Frost
The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple’s a rose,
And the pear is, and so’s
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose –
But were always a rose.
Maverick Mist 
A rose by any other name. Beautiful

Nice poem. I don’t remember it or maybe I was never familiar with it. It’s getting harder and harder to distinquish between lost memories and never knew. 🙂 The background in the first photo is really fantastic and gives a 3D quality to the rose making it pop out.

Thanks Tiny. Most of these are from one of the two accredited rose gardens in the area. There’s about 800 bushes with more than 50 different varieties. If they were mine I would never have time to photograph them. 🙂

I really like the extra sharp focus in the top picture. (or is it the accentuated lack of focus behind it?)
