It is the most beautiful white rose I have ever seen ;)

@Lorraine: Awwwwww, you're making me blush! :D
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Great contrast of the white rose against the black - it is a beautiful flower (how lucky that you have roses this time of year!!).

@Chris: Well.......the frost really hurt the bush, and this is the only rose so far, but hopefully we can bring it back.

Mandy from South Africa
Gorgeous Judy!!! Such a lovely take and a beautiful bloom- your garden must be really gorgeous

@Mandy: How I wish I could say the "garden" is gorgeous - this is the only rose, at least for now, on a not-too-healthy bush, hit very hard by our winter's heavy frost. :(
Ina from Krugersdorp, South Africa
Beautiful, excellent contrast to the background, well done!

@Ina: Thanks, Ina; I like it also!
@MSD: Thank you very much!
@Porcsin: Thank you, Porcsin ... it was taken on our porch, with a flash, so the background ended up pretty much blacked out. I assisted with a little darkening.

There is simplicity and endless wonder in looking at a rose like this. I now know from tomorrow’s shot (ah, the wonders of science!) that it is a little smaller than it appears here but nonetheless sweet indeed.

@Ronnie 2¢: Yes, the stand-alone photo does make it look larger, but the real 'rose' in the following photo is our granddaughter. She is a survivor of a malignant tumor in her pancreas - and now wants to become a doctor.
