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…

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.
