A rose is...

I have 6 rose bushes.. I planted 5 of them since we moved into our home.. I am in love with them..I count the buds, prune them and anxiously check for new growth every day.

The problem I have is capturing their beauty with my camera. Sure, I have shots of them on their bushes, in arrangements...but I have not been satisfied.

Today I picked this one out of the mason jar on my dining room table. It fell apart and I thought it was the perfect time for a photo shoot.
