Some roses are just not the same

and have only a few petals and have turned pink. A most unusual sight this year.

The soft pastels of your latest images are stunningly beautiful!

An unusual rose but it makes a lovely photo.

Very pretty :)

I’m guessing the drought affected their early development. But that’s just a guess. This is a lovely capture, and I love those rain drops!

[Dawn]

So pretty

[Babs]

This is so pretty, what did you use to process it?

[Henri Russell]

Beautiful, especially with the water droplets.

[Milanie]

Love the processing and those nice droplets.

[Rick]

Great shot.

@vstrom @joansmor @happysnaps @susiemc @hermann @louannwarren @Dawn @onewing @henrir @milaniet @rickster549 Thanks for the kind comments, they are very much appreciated.

@louannwarren Unfortunately yes Lou Ann. About 7 of my 55 rose stem have died. The rest had very small or malformed buds and blooms. After the rain they started developing pretty normal, albeit smaller and not as full as usual. there are even quite a few pink
kish ones and polka dot ones ;-)

@onewing I do about 90 % of my editing/processing in Topaz Studio Babs! For this one I used AI Remix which I love playing around with ;-)
