National Rose Month: Day 5

“A flower’s appeal is in its contradictions — so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.”

– Terri Guillemets

These garden roses had such a beautiful soft delicate color of pink with a hint of yellow in the center. It is interesting to me how roses change in color and shape as the grow from a bud to a bloom. Even the fading, wilting flowers have beauty to me!
