Pink Roses Close-Up - Romantic Flower Photography

Sale price$39.00
Material:
Size:

Soft pink roses fill the frame in tight close-up, the layered petals folding in on themselves with the structural calm that has made the rose the most-cultivated ornamental flower on the planet. The pink garden rose has been grown for at least five thousand years — Roman emperors imported them from Egypt by the boatload, medieval monasteries kept them for medicine, and modern hybridizers have given the world roughly thirty thousand named cultivars. Photographed flat and gentle, the image relies on color and curve alone: pale pink against pale pink, every petal carrying a slightly different tone of the same impossibly familiar color. A study of the flower most people see when they hear the word.
