Beautiful Roses

With all the chaos in our house at present, I finally reached my limit and escaped for the day.  I spent quite a while in the city rose gardens.

The beds are spread out over a large area.

Each area is dedicated to a particular type of rose, such as these ones.

I rested for a while inside this little summer house.

While I drank my water,  I watched one of the garden staff tending the garden.   It takes a lot of work to keep everything looking lovely. 

Rabbits are a major problem here, and each rose bed is surrounded with a barrier fence.

It was a gorgeous day for my visit.

Welcome, Summer!

  8. What a blissfully peaceful place for you to escape to! Surely those fences/barriers don't keep a determined, and hungry, rabbit out? WOuldn't they dig under, or hop over? Im intrigued!

    1. Yes, I wondered that as well but obviously it does keep the majority of them out.
