Hi Akihisa
I will give you a tip that John Tulip fro Treklens gave me and it really helps. Take a sheet of white paper and place it over your shot ( side top or bottom) and this can help you when cropping a shot.
In this case you have a washed out sky, if you replace the sky with a blue one it will enhance the shot, otherwise crop out that part and have only the focused rose showing and you will have a nice composition.

Dear Akihisa,
the roses remind us of the warm, nice summer - either of the past summer or the future one which is coming... not too soon but it sure will come!
Very beautiful roses. I like the DOF very much, with the focus on just several roses. This adds good depth to the photo.
By the way, I've read the other comment... I must say that I do not mind the white sky at all. I think that the main accent is on the roses which are of a very nice color!
Kind regards,
Elena
