Rose (Marty)

From the garden yesterday afternoon.

Quite like it but the crop is a bit awkward IMO.

Not sure it's a Geranium (or even a Pelargonium) though - looks more like a Rose to me.

You're quite correct, I've made a mistake. According to my wife it's a rose "discovered" by her friend Marty. The RHS apparently could not categorise it so they named it after her.

Cool story

Lovely detail, I like that, its pink but no too pink if you see what I mean?

Apparently it's "pink that makes the boys wink" as my Mum used to say

Good god! I'd forgotten about that saying

Nice. I like the DOF coverage of the stamens in all three flowers. Interesting about the naming.

We have a Ballerina rose that is flowering like mad this year.

Could you expand on the cropping aspect? Always keen to learn.
