This is a very classical rose, very formal. Compare this to Don Juan (the lone flower on a plant just barely clinging on to life), business casual.
Or the hippie Red Knockout — this so saturates the red channel on the Canon 5D that I had to resort to underexposure. In bright sunlight the eye cannot focus on the flower, and it appears sort of blurred.
The Tahitian Sunset and Don Juan are moderately scented. The Red Knockout has very little scent in one flower, but since usually the bushes are covered with blooms, the surroundings tend to smell nice.
PS: The butterfly from a few days ago could be a male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
