Five seconds later a bumblebee landed in the middle of this five inch wide rose blossom and I got a pretty good shot of that visit, but still like this version better.

Tree Rose, not familiar with it but the vanilla hues are outstanding! Are you going to share that bee shot with us later?

A very pleasent simple beauty. Nothing in this image is overdone or overstated. Love the soft lighting.

Thank you for the nice comments everyone.

After some fact checking, it seems that these tree-like roses are most often called 'rose standards', dating back to Victorian times. This particular standard is about 8 feet high and has an open, not highly branched interior. The blooms are sparse and all have the same bowl-shaped structure. I may post the bumblebee version later under Insects/Spiders. Thanks again.
