Not sure of this variety but I liked the bright red!

1. When i lived in a small town I walked by a huge rose garden in the fall just

as they cut it back for winter. There were newly cut roses everywhere. I picked up quite a few and a woman saw me and did the same. I took mine home and hung them upside down to dry them in bouquets.

2. I'm surprised so many beautiful roses survive quite late into the fall around here.

5. Yes. They were perfect. I just happened upon them the day they had been cut

but before they had been cleared.

6. The sid eview of the rose...

That would make a beautiful block print, I was thinking. The lines are so gracefully set.

7. Yes

I surely can’t grow roses, but I admire their graceful beauty.

8. These are really lovely, my dear Diamond_Dog!

I like the DOF on the first two; the bokeh (blurry background) makes the flowers look even more magnificent than they are!

And the grasses look like summer.

Beautiful group! Thank you so much.

9. Thank you Peggy,

I am not quite sure of your terminology but hey it sounds good to me.

10. All three great pictures, Diamond - middle one outstanding!

Like California Peggy says, that photograph's blurry background sets off the in-focus rose beautifully. Looks like you had a nice walk!
