Rosa Chris Evert by Tom Carruth 1996 on living display at Luther Burbank Gardens in Santa Rosa California August 2016 # 20160826-144338

I made this photo of a Chris Evert rose cultured by Tom Carruth in 1996 while Melody and I were visiting the Luther Burbank Gardens with friends in August 2016. A pleasant day in a pleasant setting.

Luther Burbank was an American botanist, horticulturist and pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career. Burbank's varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed a spineless cactus and the plumcot. - Wikipedia.

Christine Marie Evert, known as Chris Evert Lloyd from 1979 to 1987, is an American former world No. 1 tennis player. She won 18 Grand Slam singles championships and three doubles titles. She was the year-ending world No. 1 singles player in 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980, and 1981. - Wikipedia.

I shot this using my Canon EOS 80D that I used back in the days when I tolerated carrying a DSLR.
