Rotating an image context (CGContextRotateCTM) causing it to become blank. Why?

Question

#define radians(degrees) (degrees * M_PI/180)

UIImage *rotate(UIImage *image) {
  CGSize size = image.size;;

  UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size);
  CGContextRef co

I try followed code, it works, get from http://www.catamount.com/blog/1015/uiimage-extensions-for-cutting-scaling-and-rotating-uiimages/

+ (UIImage *)rotateImage:(UIImage*)src byRadian:(CGFloat)radian
{
    // calculate the size of the rotated view's containing box for our drawing space
    //UIView *rotatedViewBox = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, src.size.width, src.size.height)];
    //CGAffineTransform t = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(radian);
    //rotatedViewBox.transform = t;
    //CGSize rotatedSize = rotatedViewBox.frame.size;
    CGRect rect = CGRectApplyAffineTransform(CGRectMake(0,0, src.size.width, src.size.height), CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(radian));
    CGSize rotatedSize = rect.size;

    // Create the bitmap context
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize);
    CGContextRef bitmap = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    // Move the origin to the middle of the image so we will rotate and scale around the center.
    CGContextTranslateCTM(bitmap, rotatedSize.width/2, rotatedSize.height/2);

    //   // Rotate the image context
    CGContextRotateCTM(bitmap, radian);

    // Now, draw the rotated/scaled image into the context
    CGContextScaleCTM(bitmap, 1.0, -1.0);
    CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, CGRectMake(-src.size.width / 2, -src.size.height / 2, src.size.width, src.size.height), [src CGImage]);

    UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return newImage;
}
