Roses at Brookside Gardens

by | Jun 17, 2009 | Flowers, Rosaceae Family | 2 comments

One of my favorite places to photograph flowers each year is the rose garden at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland. From about mid-may through early October, there are roses in bloom. I’ve already spent a couple of morning photographing Brookside’s roses this year. Here are a few of the photos I took in late May.

First is Johann Strauss Rose – a beautiful soft peach colored flower

Next is the Wild Blue Yonder Rose – in shades of purple

I’ve got several more photos of roses from Brookside Gardens ready to post – hopefully I get them up on the blog in the next week or so.

    Hi, I wonder if someone out there can help me identify a flower? It is the flower that is found on the paperback cover of the book “The road less traveled”, by M. Scott Peck.
