The flower is not that great and the photo is not either, but it is the first rose blossoming this year in my garden, it is a mark of the roses season start (a season which will probably last until the late autumn).

Update: the high resolution of the photo(s) here were lost in an unfortunate accident(human error made by be) and a bit later the only copy remaining (resized for web use, hosted on flickr) was deleted by the yahoo bastards. I am very sad about the lost content, but is out of my control. My only hope is I will be able to replace them with more and better shots.
