"Farewell My Lovely Rose"
While pruning roses in the late afternoon on September 2nd, I noticed a set on one of the bushes with a bent stem. I knew that if I left it as it was, all of the buds would fail to open. So, I cut it off the plant and place it in a vase of water. I had planned to take a photo that evening of the center bud, which had just begun to open. but I forgot. By late day on September 3rd, it was completely open. This macro set is an attempt to honor its beauty before it fades. Hopefully, the other buds will unfold too.
