Rose Buds

Last time, when I went rose hunting, I found a lot of rose buds, one more beautiful than the other. I like the rose buds better than the actual open roses because I consider them more beautiful.

Look at those petals, how can you resist such a rose bud? To my sadness, you can't find such roses at the market or flower shop.

This two toned bud for example shows the two colors, but if the flower opens, red is becoming dominant and you can hardly see the white.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) the park where I am usually taking these photos is under maintenance, there are some construction works going on there and at the time of my visit I could not go to a part where there are more two toned roses. Those are the most beautiful, I'm making a photo shoot every day of those gorgeous roses, but not this time. The problem is, by the time they finish, the roses will be long gone.

There are surveillance cameras all over the park, so stealing is out of the question, but I like to believe people are decent and no one would steal these beauties. Actually I've never seen stems cut, never.
