Morden Blush
As posted earlier, I’m testing photo papers.
None are suitable for every image.
‘Morden Blush’ soft colours looked dull on certain paper.
Printed on Epson Premium Photo Luster, the rose looks touchable.
These 8 x 10 prints are initialed on the back and includes information on the rose.
To order visit the Rose Gallery
Canvas and larger prints are also available from Fine Art America
Tuscany Superb
A rose on my wish list.
I took this photo in the old rose garden of the
Central Experimental Farm in 2008.
Superb is a seedling of Tuscany, one of the oldest Gallicas.
The flowers are described as larger, dark purple mottled with crimson.
Explorer Rose Garden
Every year, I visit public and private gardens for inspiration.
The Experimental Farm is one of my favourites.
They have two sections for roses.
One is for the Explorer series and another for older varieties.
The best time to visit the older roses is at the beginning of summer.
The Explorer roses start to bloom in early summer and continues until first frost.

This floribunda is a work of art.
A beautiful rose from Meilland international, Antibes, France.
Photographed in private garden in Québec, Canada
Planted last year and just added to Rose Gallery and Collection. English roses do well in my garden when protected during the colder months. They repeat so you have plenty of opportunities to photograph them. Their fragrance also makes them worth adding to your own garden.
Not an easy rose to photograph. The flowers are near the ground level and droop slightly downward. The flowers bright crimson shade glows like a neon sign in natural light. Retouching in Photoshopis a must. At some point, I will try again with lights in early evening.
A fourth Rainbow Sorbet photo in the Rose Gallery.
You can now see it in all stages, from elegant buds to fully opened flower.
The colour blends is amazing.
The first English rose planted in my garden. I took this photo last summer. I moved it a few weeks ago and planted it with the antique roses. This will extend the blooming period for this part of the garden.
A floribunda rose with good disease resistance. Photo taken last year and it is still blooming well. Julia Child won the AARS award in 2006. I would vote for it too.
