Without a doubt no one mixes a more sublime colour palette than Mother Nature! This beauty is the first of my roses to bloom for the new season and she lives up to her name absolutely! The subtle changing of colour from deeper pink around the edges fading to a creamy white as she ages 'gracefully' :) along with her delicate perfume totally belie the hardy nature of the Seduction rose which flowers profusely over a long period.. fabulous! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, I'm off to a 'festival français' today, looking forward to eating a crepe or two.. take care.....
What an exquisite rose, Grace!! The colors are delightful and I've never seen one like it before!! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Your captures are superb!! Enjoy the French Festival! Sounds like a great day ahead!!
ReplyDeleteTruly gorgeous, Grace. You are so right that no one does colour as well as Mother Nature.
ReplyDeletePerfec sweet color! Thank you for this beautiful gift!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this lovely rose....great shots Grace.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
thanks for your comments....i appreciate that very much.
Oh, yes. Seductive! If the blush of color doesn't get you, the scent will. If the scent doesn't get you, the form will. I'm feeling a little warm . . .
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one like that, it is a nice variety. We have some wild ones here that have small simple blooms that really smell good but nothing like the seductive.
ReplyDeleteSeductive indeed. The rose is beautiful, Grace.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...gorgeous!!! I'm seduced!!! That's one I've not seen here in the States...I wonder if they're available? I'll have to check online!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I miss about our home down south is our bank of roses!!! Thanks for sharing this spectacular beauty!!!
Perfect shape and soft, delicate shading.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautifully breathtaking rose - thank you! Enjoy your Sunday!

Hope you enjoyed your Crepes, hmmm, it´s also the time for Flammkuchen, which actually is French! Oh, great, now I´m hungry.
It has the right name. The Seduction rose is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully captured these beautiful flowers, wonderful as highlight colors!
ReplyDeleteA Rose
ReplyDeleteMade of perfect petals,
Each one moulded softly.
From a bud exquisite,
It blooms to velvet beauty.
Softly coloured from peace white,
To reds, apricots and golds…
Only a few of the many shades
Found in the lovely folds
Of one, more than just an earthly flower
But surely a gift from heavenly bowers.
A gift of love, of peace that grows
Within the depths of beauty ~ a rose.
