I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Red Rose on Ruby Tuesday
Red Rose on Ruby Tuesday
This rose was growing in the rose garden about a month and half ago. I am really not sure which red rose it is but I think it might be ‘Mr. Lincoln’. Out of the 160 roses I have about 120 identified. There are a few doubles and triples of some varieties. Since I inherited the care of the garden I am not sure about some of them.
Red roses are traditionally sent as a symbol of true love and fidelity but also can mean a sign of respect or courage.
Thanks for visiting. For more Ruby Tuesday and red stuff visit the teach @

Luscious. Nothing like a red rose with a tear drop of water.
Perfect photo! Love the drop of water. I feel like if I put my nose up to my computer screen I should be able to smell the intoxicating perfume of it! Your entire blog is beautiful. I'm bookmarking it to check in often. Cheers!
Wowser! That's a fantastic photo and a beautiful rose.
That's about as red as a red rose can be! Wonderful for Ruby Tuesday.
Absolutely awesome shot. You captured the color of the rose for a Ruby Tuesday.
Great blog site with great photography.
Great photo. Nice drops on the petals.
Absolutel beautiful! Love the dew drops on the pedals. Great photo.
Beautiful! I love the water drops on it.
Happy RT!
The dahlia in the previous post is also quite stunning.
Simply gorgeous! Love the water drops.
Beautiful red rose for Ruby Tuesday. Perfect! :)
Beautiful and so intense in colour. This is a beautiful photo.
This rose is gorgeous -- but I REALLY love that Dahlia down below! (I'm a huge dahlia fan!) And the lake shot up above would be PERFECT for Quilly's reflections challenge! Check it out! There's still 4 more days to play!
I love the tinny drops of water dripping away. Have a great RT!
Beautiful, silky and perfect. a flower with many symbologies.
hugs, Denise
Ooooo, Digital, gorgeous RED rose! Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
What an exquisite shot. As usual, I enjoyed "strolling" down the page and visiting your garden. Nice to see the Botanical Gardens which were a part of my youth along with the Bronx Zoo and a beautiful shot of Central Park at her very best.
that sweet little drop of water in the center is just stunning!
and the dahlia peeking up at me from the post below is just WOW!!
This is such a beautiful rose. Endless red petals cascading to such great lengths. A beautiful landscape of a perfect flower!
Everyone's already said it: luscious, exquisite, gorgeous, perfect. A red rose to the nth degree. A ne plus ultra rose. And the teardrop! My hat's off to you. Thank you for sharing it with us.
