Flower Friday - Dreamy Rose

My Editor kindly allowed me to borrow this rose from her Valentine bouquet (of course she has no idea who her "secret" admirer was...or maybe she does!)

In some ways it seems a shame to render it in mono, as it's a lovely yellow with tinges of red. However this month I'm enjoying messing around with monos, so here it is with a gentle textured background. It looks best large.

Thanks of course to BikerBear for hosting.
