Where I grew up in PA, roses never bloomed until June. But here in NC, and as I saw from your pictures, they bloom much earlier. I'll always associate roses with the beginning of summer (and the end of school!), but I'll try to get used to them as a signal of a mature spring. Thanks for your post with the wonderful pictures.
What lovely pictures, Margaret! I never expected to see such glorious roses so near to salt water. The garden looks like the perfect place to take a laptop and write. Roosevelt had an amazing inspiration in the WPA (I credit Eleanor, but that's another conversation) using the WPA not only to build infrastructure but to create parks and gardens.
Japanese beetles, oh my, haven't thought of them in years. Yes, they formed a backdrop of my childhood as well. Never see them anymore. I wonder if the now banned pesticides did away with them, or if they were simply driven from this area of Florida by other causes.
Thank you for the perfect glimpse of spring.
Wonderful pictures! I see that the Botanic Gardens in Fort Worth, Texas, are having their iris show, right now. Haven't been there for years, since moving back this time. They also have the Japanese Gardens, where the kids loved feeding the plentiful koi in the ponds. Those sure were fun times.
Thanks for the beautiful pictures! Roses aren't out here in PA yet--we're in the middle of daffodil season--but I do look forward to seeing them.
I love to visit botanical gardens when I travel.
Portland is called the Rose city. It has a magnificent rose garden.
What beautiful pictures, Margaret. As others said Roses don't come out here until June in the north. Whenever I go on vacation with my sisters or my daughter, we visit gardens, too many to mention here, but some of my favorites are Longwood Gardens in Delaware, Massachusetts Botanical Gardens, Fioli Gardens south of San Francisco, and the Golden Gate Gardens. The only problem with my visiting them, I get too many ideas and end up expanding my own to more than one person can manage.
What a gorgeous garden. I can see why they do weddings there.
Up north, we're in the middle of daffodil and forsythia season. Roses come a bit later here.
I have to second Warren's shout out for the Portland rose gardens - everything in the Pacific northwest grows magnificently. The roses we saw were spectacular, and the dahlias out there are huge.
I've been to a wedding there, and it was lovely. We were met by waiters with fresh mint juleps. then moved on to the lace-covered table that held cans of OFF. All that beauty comes with mosquitoes! The American Rose Society has its official gardens here in Shreveport. Come visit and you can see more than 20,000 rose bushes on 118 acres.
Elaine, discovering the roses in full and glorious bloom was a delight. I have knockout roses in Cincinnati which have their initial bloom in late May and early June.
Kait, the Botanical Gardens are designed with many "rooms", including a shade garden under the live oaks. The perfect place for quiet inspiration.
Becky, I was fascinated by the many colors and varieties of Louisiana iris which are collected and catalogued in the NOLA sculpture garden.
Kathleen, Cincinnati is also in daffodil season with all the flowering trees: crabapples, ornamental cherries, redbuds, and this weekend, dogwoods.
Warren, I would love to visit the rose gardens in Oregon and Vancouver.
Gloria, I've visited Longwood Gardens but not the others you mention. A good excuse for a trip to the west coast!
Shari, enjoy nature's bouquet of forsythia and daffodils.
Amy, I can imagine how lovely a wedding in the Botanical Gardens must be. I put the ARS gardens in Shreveport on my bucket list. Years ago, I visited the Jackson and Perkins gardens in upstate NY.
Congratulations to all the writers who got their work published.The pictures are so vibrant and beautiful. Love the photography. Recommended for everyone who wants their work to get published.
