Roses

Different roses in the gardens at home. Above, an old garden rose from a nursery. It has no fragrance.

Above and below: white wild, or heritage, rose. The most wonderful fragrance. These roses are all over the property.

Above and below: wild roses. I've always called these beach roses because they grow on the Connecticut beaches on Long Island Sound. They are my favorite roses.

Below: a red heritage rose (mislabeled as a garden rose on Flickr):
