Enchanted Roses

I took these in July of last year.  These roses are next to a fast-food place up here in Crestline.

They have blooms of the deepest, most velvety red.  My digital cameras have never been able to capture red as effectively as my old film cameras. They're a much deeper red than these photos show.

I don't think they get much care, but they bloom valiantly every summer.

And, so beautifully.  They remind me of roses that I've read about in fairy tales.
