Looks more like a Camellia than a Rose :-)
but all in all a nice shot, nice and clear.

Well sh.t!
"Reflection Riding Camellia" doesn't have the alliterative attraction
as "Reflection Riding Red Roses."

You sound like some of those old hens in the photo club I used to
belong to. You could show them a flower pic and they'd not only tell
you what kind of flower it was, but also where you took the pic.

Just imagine... This is the sort of bloke you can pull your "Helen" gig on
and get away with it.

Call me a Luddite if you wish but I love that camera! Anytime you tire
of it, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands.
Gorgeous rose! Looks like a hybrid of some kind. The colors are
outstanding with that bold red rose against that beautiful blue
background. Very sharp, I can almost smell it. Beautiful!

Yeah, you and Mr. Divs.
Of course, his sniffer is bigger than most.

It's a Camellia and to me, the back ground is extremely distracting.

I reckon the whole point of shooting a flower is to have a picture of a
flower. This one is a picture of a leaf with a flower above it.
