Hello Everyone,

What the heck ... I thought this week's theme was 'summer'! I can't keep up with all the changes!

Anyway, although the theme is not summer, my contribution for today shows my summer rose. I know it is well and truly summer when this rose, which is quite late flowering, opens its big buds and produces eye-catching, old-fashioned blooms.

I'm not sure of its name but I do know that I rescued it from a severe green-fly invasion by meticulously removing each fly grub.

I try not to use pesticides as I saw a film which showed the effect of such chemicals on the food chain.

Have a greatr w/e.
It is the Garden Festival in our village this w/e so, after a heat wave of a week, it has poured down today! Sod's Law!!!

Many thanks for your interest.
Please feel free to feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

Hello Beverley,
Congratulations for taming the exposure of this red rose. I find reds difficult to expose but you managed it quite well. The side profiling is a good decision as I see fine details and symmetry. I salute you for not using pesticides...and that may be hard considering the roses around here are profusely infested by aphids, mealybugs, and rust diseases. I wish you a good weekend, time to go back to watching the two Andys slug it out at Wimbledon's gentlemen semifinal match.

The rose is in perfect focus, and the light really shows the flower at its best.

Hey Beverley,

This is a wonderful image of your rose. You are to be commended on your intimate care for this flower.

The colors are great here and you have really set the pink rose off from its green background. A little more diffused light from a later sun might make the rose a more evenly lit. That said, it's not too bad.

I'm not a fan of this border treatment, though. I think the "subject-popping" frame looks kitschy and is going to look quite dated here in a little bit. You've done a good job at it, I just don't care for it myself.

Thanks for sharing,
skot

I've missed taking the summer flowers and I am enjoying your garden flowers Bev. Makes me envious.
This is beautiful - love the pink tones. Nice and sharp too. But I'm not too sure about the black frame on the left
