I haven't tried this, but... I'd be tempted to take the photo in color, then use Lightroom or Photoshop to turn everything except the flower to B+W.

Here's a quick link to show you how to do this in Photoshop Elements.

I use Picasa for simple PP and it has an editing feature called 'focal B&W' that will let you keep the rose red and have the rest in B&W.

Light Room has a very good way to take a photo in color and convert to black and white with only a subject in color.

Its called "selective color", and many modern DSLR cameras will do it in-camera for you, very easily (it will be in the retouch menu). By the way, you cannot do it with a B&W image, you have to use a color image and convert everything except the selected color to B&W.

Thanks a lot David. I'm an "old dog" & I don't learn as fast as I used to. Again, Thank you

David, welcome to the Hog.
Are you using film, then plan to scan it? It would not be hard, though I've never done that.
If you're shooting digital, and you shoot raw, you are actually shooting color, and the red is still there.
If shooting film, I just assume most PP programs would do it, certainly Adobe can.
But selective color is VERY common. Good luck. ;-)

MT, can it be done in Nikon D7100?

I don't think it is dumb at all I used CS-3 to convert these. Create a new layer, convert to black and white, then erase the part you want to be in color

this is a quick explanation, I got info from a magazine though I can't remember what, or when. Also the one with the yellow flowers took me about 8-10 hrs. to do (a lot of detail in leaves) the other only 1 or 2

You take the photograph in colour and convert to black and white then you can add colour back like this.
