Rose Week 2 of 2
Part 2 of Lady Dixon Park Rose Week - photos of some of the beautiful roses, including two 'royal' roses and Ireland's own 'Wild Rover'. (The only one I have in my garden is Arthur Bell.)
Wow, beautiful. I appreciate roses in someone else's garden. We just have too many pests and ailments for me to bother much with roses. Some fine photography!
Oh, these are all lovely! I kept thinking - oh, I love that one, then I'd see the next and think, no, I love *that* one, then I'd go to the next and think, no, *that* one!!!! :) I ended up realizing I like them all! Thanks for the show!
