Grandiflora Rose 'Love'

GRANDIFLORA ROSE, CULTIVAR 'LOVE,' CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN, GLENCOE, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 17, 2010

One of the largest and most spectacular red blooms in the Chicago Botanic Garden's Rose Garden, this hybrid boasts 40 or more petals to each blossom, some of which are lined with white when the rose is mature. Coming up with a good shot of a rose like this takes some time in post processing because the intense, saturated red tends to overwhelm detail.
