Oklahoma rose
My ‘Oklahoma’ rosebush has the deepest red roses, which try as I might, I cannot photograph, or even Photoshop, into a closer approximation of reality. The actual color of the flowers is the deepest, darkest, richest, burgundy red, and almost black in the shadows. You’ll just have to imagine.
Visit Ruby Tuesday for more ruby redness around the world. And this is also a post for Macro Monday and Blue Monday. Is that sky blue enough? And I like this photo so much I’ve called it my Best Post of the Week.

This was one of my mom’s favorites!! She had them all over the yard when I was a child.

That is a beautiful rose and a fabulopus photo. I know it’s Ruby Tuesday, but that sky is the most even shade of blue I’ve ever seen. Great capture, all of it.
Peace.
Spectacular!
Happy RT.

Ooo, Sara, you are too late; I’m so sorry. Blue Monday is on each Monday, beginning at midnight EST.
It closes after 11PM. I do hope you try again–maybe next Monday.
Wonderful color! It makes me think of Snow White. 🙂 Or is that Sleeping Beauty? Hmmm, well, somewhere magical!
So velvety!
Fantastic shot!
