      This is ...is....WOW! That's what that is. Is this edited or manipulated? I want a rose bush like that if it isn't. I bougt a blue rose bush and the roses are lavender. But still pretty. I only got 3 flowers on it this year.

      Thank you girls for linking this. Sorry if I have misled someone. This photo has been treated in Photoshop as I wanted the rose to look like this :-) My original photo is also on Flickr and may be seen here:

      Song of the Rose

      For Zeus chose us a King of the flowers in his mirth,
      He would call to the rose, and would royally crown it;
      For the rose, ho, the rose! is the grace of the earth,
      Is the light of the plants that are growing upon it!
      For the rose, ho, the rose! is the eye of the flowers,
      Is the blush of the meadows that feel themselves fair,
      Is the lightning of beauty that strikes through the bowers
      On pale lovers that sit in the glow unaware.
      Ho, the rose breathes of love! ho, the rose lifts the cup
      To the red lips of Cypris invoked for a guest!
      Ho, the rose having curled its sweet leaves for the world
      Takes delight in the motion its petals keep up,
      As they laugh to the wind as it laughs from the west.

      Poem by Sappho
      Translated by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 1893
