Today’s Flowers: The Drooping White Rose

October 5, 2008 | Filed Under Flowers, Roses, Today's Flowers 

This photo is not upside down.  Instead, the rose is drooping.  I took the photo at the end of summer, not long ago, and it was clear that the flower was on its last leg.  It’s end was very near.

    What a beautiful rose, I think white roses are so delicate looking (especially in their decline). Kind of sad. . .

    Even if they did fall over like that they’re still pretty. I did roses too this week.

    Roses remain beautiful until they die! These are a sign of the dying summer.

    Even in their last days, roses still keep some of their mystery and beauty.
    Like most people!

    I’m glad you got a photo of the “guy” (the white rose personified) before he turned brown and spotty and fell right off his perch.

    Paz: That White Rose looks like it is drooping from being so large. What a nice full rose.
