Description
I captured these roses in Tyler, Texas with a Nikon camera and lens. I love east Texas with it's pine trees and beautiful winter roses. The Fire 'n Ice rose is a special hybrid tea rose because of its contrast in the color spectrum red & white, a paradox of color so to speak... More about this rose below. I added a light vignette and cropped to the original image...
Fire and Ice, first hybridized in the year 1987, has been on numerous places ranging from the florists’ basket of showy flowers to the fairy tales and folklore from grandma’s gossips. Roses in general signify love, passion, hope, beauty, and chastity. On a more specific note, a fire and ice is the culmination of passion and innocence.
Red is the color of passion, the intensity, and undying nature of love. The red shade of this rose denotes the same. It also signifies the ‘bloody’ side of the vampires. It also symbolizes eternal love that is expressed with pomp and fervor, uninhibited.
White, on the other hand is one of the most superior colors. It is known across the globe in different cultures as a symbol of purity and innocence. In a fire and ice rose, it depicts the same virtue. It also stands for concern and unconditional love.
