Like roses?

The rose garden at Brookside Gardens is a good place to visit at the Wheaton Regional Park in Montgomery County, Maryland. The is an end of the season picture from a September visit. Always have your camera in hand to capture the changing colors of the season.

Please share your rose pictures in the comments to this blog. Have a great day!

I love rose bushes, but don't care to buy roses as a flower arrangement because they don't last long enough. The cheap bundle of spring flowers that you can get at the grocery store seem to last the longest. Once I had some last just shy of two weeks! AMAZING! Gorgeous shot, as always!

Roy -- That rose is awesome!!! My father used to grow some real prize winners. I don't know how he did it. They were amazing. I grew them for some years, but had some real beetle issues and had to just give it up. I miss all those beauties. Keep the pics coming. I love them!

Beautiful shot, Patricia. Thanks for sharing. Most of our snow has melted. I hope we have no more major storms this winter!
