I love this rose shot. One of the best I've seen so far in the challenges here. I'm not a big fan of the border/framing, but that's more of a personal choice :-) Nice work!
Okay, I must admit that I've been of the feeling flower pictures in this challenge were a little too 'easy' -- which is to say, not all that original. But this is just stunning. I even don't mind the border; it gives it a very post-cardy feel, and I'm a big fan of commercial art when it's done well, so that's a plus. Also, I'm really impressed you managed to find what appears to be a completely perfect white rose. Very nice.
I'm not sure if I like such a tight crop. If I was gonna try it this tight I would try and get the center of the rose more off center! Also the framing is quite overbearing. I would rather see no or almost no border and MORE IMAGE!

This is very pretty. Love the crop. The flower is beautiful and I love way the petals are slowly opening with the center still tightly closed. I gave this an 8. Probably would have given it a 9 but there seems to be quite a bit of yellow in the shadows of the petals. Nice job.
Beautifully cropped to really highlight the swirling pattern of the petals. Nice composition with the main curve from top to bottom (at the right hand side) formed by the two-three touching petals there. Yellow shadow detail adds depth. Good choie of border though not sure of choice of grey colour for the thicker smudged border element.
