Olivia Rose Austin

This is a beautiful old fashioned type rose which has been cultivated to be disease resistant. It has the most gorgeous perfume as well. It is a David Austin rose and he named it after his granddaughter. I love using my macro lens for close up of flowers. Although I blipped this rose, as a bush, last week I wanted the detail of the petals today. 

This is my offering for FlowerFriday. Many thanks to Biker Bear for hosting this challenge, my favourite of the week.
