More Lovely Rose from Huntington

13 years ago

I keep going back to Descanso and Huntington because they are so beautiful right now. I'm trying to study up on roses I'm interested in. :)

Here's a few more from Huntington Gardens this past weekend.

Alnwick Castle (love the globular bloom!)

It was fun picking out my favorites. This time it's Cesar, Falstaff and Kathryn Morley. Panachee is also very beautiful. Aimee, you're doing a public service for those of us who haven't seen these gardens in person, or at least not for some time (Huntington). Thank you so much.

I completely agree with Ingrid. You are doing all of us, who haven't seen the gardens in person, a great service.

I don't have a favorite, as I love them all...Gertrude is divine!

Beautiful photography....post pics anytime you visit a garden; okay?

Thanks for sharing,

Audrey

I agree. I moved away from So Cal before I had a chance to visit the Descanso. So like Audrey said, and I think this goes for EVERYONE, post pics anytime you visit a rose garden, as it is a delight to us all. Rose pics are why we log onto this gallery!

Your pics, in particular, are very nice. Thanks for posting.

I love the fragrance of The Alnwick Rose, one of my favorite Austins.

Your pics capture the splendor of the garden, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful pics!

Alnwick Castle looks to be more pretty than I thought it was - I got it as a replacement rose, so did not pay much attention where I plant it, but it seems I might quite like it after all. :)
