During my visit to Brookside Gardens in Maryland, I was captivated by the stunning array of roses to photograph. This particular rose captured my attention with its glorious contrasting shades of orange petals. Viewing the deep orange center petals of this flower up close through my camera lens, it looked as if nature had perfectly outlined the petal edges with gold and filled them with vibrant shades of orange. Orange roses symbolize enthusiasm and I believe nature was exceptionally enthusiastic when creating this color combination, ensuring this vibrant yet delicate flower would not go unnoticed.
