Description

Yellow roses in bloom in early summer. This image was taken in my garden in Southern Oregon. These roses are from a climber rose bush called Golden Showers. They bloom from May to June in a colorful array of joyous abandon. Since they are early bloomers, the ladybugs and butterflies find them early because there isn't a lot of competition for these wonderful visitors until the rest of the garden is in bloom. The ladybugs, of course, feast on any aphids that might be brave enough to show up, in early Spring. I added several textures by using layers in Photoshop CC to get the background. The monarch and ladybug were added as composite images. Textures by Jai Johnson and French Kiss
