"I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."
- Eleanor Roosevelt

There weren't many roses left in late September at Elizabethan Gardens, but I did find one named after Queen Elizabeth that had a few bright petals left. I'm not sure what type of pink rose is in the third photograph, but I liked how the wall framed it.

  10. Roses remind me of growing up in rural NZ, not many of them here in the sub tropical state of Queensland!
