I'm sorry George, you do not have the right to ask others to remove their photos from HMF. The contributor of this photo is one of our most generous contributors and his photo collection includes some of the site's most stunning photos. I very much hope he is not insulted.

Please note HMF photos have never been solely for the purpose of showcasing a rose's ideal bloom. Many other factors come into play and we believe this photo is a very intersting one.

We also can well understand your desire to showcase your roses in their best light and as such we will be making a change to the site to allow a breeder's own photos to be featured separately. We believe this is a fair compromise.
