I always did like the more intensely coloured roses, such as this beauty.

There are a few darker colors at the Hamilton Rose Gardens, including a more traditional climbing rose that looks stunning at its peak. There is even a really pretty purple rose that unfortunately has so far defeated my attempts to capture it. Go check them out when you get a chance. Make it soon though because the flowering season wont last forever…

Alan Budney has some wicked cool closeup photos of roses.

This rose is as good as it gets. Just the perfect time before it spreads out and achieves it glorious goal.

The first of many fantastic pictures I plan to post of roses from local gardens.

This flower fades rapidly in the sun, but the subtle orange hue near the base remains.
