Description
This rose is just blooming in time for Valentine Day. We have many buds on the brush so it should be very beautiful on Valentine Day.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses

L I really like how the lighting worked on this red rose. It seems to be glowing! The petals have a velvet appearance to them. The dark backgound give this a stong feeling.
