The name of this rose is "Knock Out' and is very popular in Florida because it is low maintenance (no black spot). It blooms year round, but the blooms do not last more than two days before the petals begin to fall off.....but, it is a prolific bush and is very "showy" when used as a hedge.
This photo is another experiment with HDR software. http://www.mediachance.com/hdri/index.html

Peter......I should have posted this site with the reference to HDR, but I did not want to be understood as pushing this particular software. I downloaded the free trial version. http://www.mediachance.com/hdri/index.html

Binni.....'Chenito' in Italy recommended this software http://www.mediachance.com/hdri/index.html If you have not seen Chenito's work, I recommend it highly...this is a good place to start! http://www.fotothing.com/chenito/photo/689/

Thank you Marijke. It was fun to play with the software. The effects of HDR seem more dramatic with architectural things. The software was suggested to me by Chenito (screen name) in Italy. He has also done some amazing things with people. http://www.fotothing.com/chenito/photo/b3884a30b59d142008dd2c9f332d4284/
Take a look if you have a moment.

Thank you Claudia. This is a very difficult rose for me to photograph as I have tried to do in the past. The color is very bright. This was three photos stacked and compressed together. (Bracketing -1, 1, +1)
