A rose is a rose

For Flower Friday. 

It is 103 deg F (around 39 deg C) outside, so spending anytime outside is not a good idea today.  And the only air conditioning we have is a small window unit near our living room.  My office, however, is upstairs, and is currently 90 deg F.  Hot! Hot!  Thankfully, the heatwave should end the early part of next week.  

But surprisingly, my neighbor's roses continue to thrive in spite of the heat.  Thankfully, they are shaded part of the day.  

This was taken on my phone and isn't nearly as sharp as I would like.  I desaturated the color a bit.  The petals appear a bit more translucent.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
