A few shots from the National old rose collection at Mottisfont Abbey
Honorine de Brabant
Louis XIV, nearest I know to a black rose
Rosa Mundi, origin unknown, but before 1500
R.Rugosa Rubra
Sidonie
Tuscany superb
Altogether I took about 600 shots over 3 days, to see about 180 of them sized at 800 pixels

The majority were shot using Tamron 90/2.8 with Kenko 1.4X Teleplus, Minolta 5D.

"How many roads must a man walk down before he admits he's lost?"
Definitely *not* on Facebook or Twitter!
Nor sending from an iPhone or iPad!
No.2. (Louis XIV) and last one, (Tuscany superb) are my favourites. The dark ones seem to show up best here, or may be it's because they appeal to me.
Mike.
That's all very well but what does Ken Rockwell have to say on the matter?
Excellent work Mike...looks like a fun place to have a wander with a macro lens
The Sidonie is my favourite...looks like layers and layers of soft silk. If I was a bee that's where you'd find meMaybe try a little curve on it to bring the shadows up a touch? Looks like you got the whole flower sharp
Nice photos mike, im sure you had a great day, for me......Louis XIV,
Im in a black phase
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

My favourite is Rosa Mundi - it's flowering in my garden right now.
