This pretty garden queen named Gemini is a wonderful rose for bloom form and holding that form. Her fragrance is most enticing as well. I won Best Overall Photo of Show with that Lavender Bouquet shot I posted here a while back, on Saturday at the local Rose Show Photography competition. Got first place ribbons in four classes too. So a good day. Thanks for your views and comments on this pretty bloom smile. :o)
