I took this photo the day before Thanksgiving. There were also several promising buds that day but soon after this the weather started turning cold, near or below freezing, so this was the last fully open rose of the year.

This is gorgeous, Lynn! I swear I want to buy the same camera you have just to see if I can come even close to what you do with yours. This flower is stunning! Thank you for starting my day so beautifully.
And I get your issues with the “standard” blog look but this doesn’t look exactly like anyone else’s because it’s already definitely yours.
