One of the "English roses" hybridized by David Austin in his effort to meld the shapes and fragrances of the old garden roses with the repeated blooming of modern hybrid tea and floribunda roses -- all of which is new news to me, though Austin began work in Shropshire the 1960s. I usually shoot so early in the morning, there's nobody to pester with questions like, "So what's 'English' about an English rose?" 1/400s @ f/10, ISO 200 Thanks for taking a look!

She's a beauty, and so is the capture. Soft color displayed well with this background.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
