Photos from my expedition yesterday, more to come in a second post. Don't want to overload you guys with too many pictures in one.

Abraham Darby
(seemed a little pale to me)

Baronne Prevost (???)
I totally love this rose!

Likewise, I really liked this one... but I think I mislabeled it. I'm not sure which it is (probably a Hybrid Perpetual)
Look at that lovely arched branch hanging over the fence!

Another similar one I liked, Mme. Lauriol de Barny (Bourbon?)

the saturation is a little overcompensating on my camera, but Benjamin Britten was bright (just not quite this bright)

Blush Noisette

I thought this rose had kind of old hybrid tea flavor to it's blooms. It was charming to me.
Bow Bells

a giant Cecile Brunner at the entrance

Charles Austin

Charles Lawson
this was a HUGE bush. HUGE.

an adorable "cottage" that they used to hold the restrooms

Crepuscule was looking a bit brown

Crocus Rose

A bed of various flowers

Someone left these old gloves here. :)

Just amending this thread! The Baronne Prevost rose photo is correct, but the "mislabeled" rose after that hanging over the fence is Marchioness of Lorne. <3
