Description
Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, and the joy in a heart.

The rose originated in Persia, and comes from one of the oldest known perennial shrubs. There are 10,000+ worldwide.
Roses are equated with romance, peace, and fulfillment. The white rose is the oldest rose, and in Arabic legend, all roses were originally white. During the 20th Century, the white rose has been a symbol of peace.
The world's oldest living rose bush is thought to be 1000 years old: rosa canina (dog rose).

Outside the pretty blue gated entrance to a local allotment garden was a beautiful flowering rosebush.
Captured in the sunlight, my original image doubled, squared ... then toned with a smidgeon of texture for an old-fashioned vintage look.
💕 Heartfelt Gratitude to FAA groups for featuring this image:

Love the way you made this feel like ruffles of silk. Gorgeous processing!!! LF
Connie Handscomb replied:
I'm so glad you can see the ruffles 'of silk', Mary; old-fashioned organza came to mind for me, they are an abundance of petal froth! Thank you so very much!;))

Thank you so very much, Sunil! I love the blue wooden fence to this allotment which provides the background here but I have a feeling the municipality has other things in mind - its days are numbered:))
