This is a rose that grows in my yard in Asheville. I had made a photo of a bloom on this bush the previous
summer that I liked, but wasn't quite sharp enough to suit me (although my wife likes it). That one has a
dissipated, faded quality to it, and was taken just after a hard rain, so it had lots more water on it. I have never
been able to get past the lack of sharpness, so I generally don't show it. This is a bloom from the same plant
after a more gentle rain. It has an undeniable sensuality, and is sharp enough, though I think I'll try again in the
spring.
