Sept 2 - Rose Garden Roundup

Along with the community garden - which I am going back to one more time later this week - it's time for the summer's-end Rose Garden Roundup. I noted last week some amazing beds in the non-rose part of the garden. Before we get to another, a couple of classic roses. A lot of them are a bit ragged at this point, so you have to shop around the bush to find some young blooms in perfect condition:

This bed is right beside them and the walkway where everybody does their wedding shots. Black leaves, no less, and a lovely contrast of the purple and yellow washing across the middle of the bed. These people are artists.
