Roses at Cutler Botanic Gardens, Binghamton, New York, May 31.
Rose York and Lancaster, which dates from before 1551. I love how not all the roses are the same color; this is a characteristic of this variety. And oh, the fragrance.
Rosa Belle poitevine, from 1894. Another fragrant rose which is also supposed to be a rebloomer.
Last but not least for today, an Apothocary rose (Rosa gallica). This variety is some 900 years old and is tolerant of shade. And if your nose still has room for fragrance - mmmmm.
