| Beautiful roses and photos as always. Frau Karl Druski is on my want list....I have never heard of Willmottiae - going to look that one up.Thank you for sharing! |
|
| Thanks so much, Joe. We have let our BBG membership lapse after over 30 years, as it got more and more commercial and full of concrete construction. Glad to see the rose garden is still hanging in there. (I have Kakwa now after seeing it there. Love it. Wilmottae is stupendous). |

| What beautiful photos: thanks for posting them! Can you tell me what that annual flower glimpsed in the photo of 'Pompon Blanc Parfait' is? I have that in my garden and don't know its name. Melissa |
|
| Melissa, I believe that plant is Hesperis matronalis, Dame's Rocket, Sweet Rocket. Cath |
|
| Your photos are magnificent, Labrea! Thank you! You actually introduced me to a rose I wasn't familiar with, and wish would grow and flower here, Louis Riel. I'd not seen that one before. It is definitely MY kind of foliage! Thank you! Kim |

| Ahhhh, first off the bat - alba suaveolens! Took my breath away. Not available in Oz, but I so dearly wish it was. |
|
| Yes it's dames Rocket Sarah the Rosarian for the Cranford Rose Garden has planted many companions with the roses so it's less like a rose museum. This combination with Foetida Persiana is wnderful
There is a little rise up to a latticed pavilion that has been planted beautifully with ground cover roses saliva &

| Wonderful photos Joe! Glad to see you posting again. One day will need to get back there to see it in person again. Janelle |

| Thank you Joe for this stupendous tour. I'v not been to either garden since moving to WA some 15 years ago. I believe I'm going to have to go again soon. I also miss the Edna Haupt Conservatory during the Christmas holiday season. Did I spell any of it right? Thank you again. Jeannie |
|
| ENID (lol) there is a wonderful exhibition at Enid Haupt right now! Called Groundbreakers celebrating Early 20th Century American Gardens & the Women that designed them.
It also looks like Stephen Scaniello is up at the New York Botanical Garden's now as their curator! |

| Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos with us! Very pretty! They all bloom at the same time, even the ramblers. that's really amazing. A good design. Have you seen any rose trees there? For some reason I don't see a lot of rose trees in the US rose gardens (public), may be it's part of the budget cut.....they cost more for sure. |

| Thanks, Joe, for these stunning photos. I made my annual visit to the Cranford Garden last week. I had a great time there as always, but as in the past wish they would display the rose name tags a little better. They grow most if not all of their OGRs along the fences. Lots of these roses I would love to learn their names, but could not find the tags. Lovely, lovely photos. Now I will have to go the one in the Bronx this year as well... |
