It's my favorite rose, as you can tell by all the pictures I submitted to the PF listing!

All of your photo's for that listing in PF are beautiful, but the above picture is really special! I love how it shows the layers of the petals, the colors and the bud as well.

I call it the full ballerina skirt look and I love it when a rose bloom presents itself that way, and especially when the rose petals are a different shade on the reverse.

What a beautiful capture of this rose, Sue!
You have a great talent of capturing their beauty... P.S. I don't hate roses LOL

Thank you both, just at the right place at the right time with the right lighting.
Well Kin, all I can say, sometimes (OK, often) a rose bush on a whole can leave a lot to be desired but I have been photographing so many of them now that several stand out as good all around garden plants, Eureka is one of the them. Some have a pretty face but lack garden worthiness, IMHO.

Congratulations Sue, an super shot of an extraordinary rose!

It's also nice to know of photogenic roses that are also good garden plants. Sadly, that is seldom the case. Eureka is going on my to-buy list.
