Several pictures from the Rose garden in Salem. 
About roses that I have grown in Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri. Also about those that I have seen in public gardens, cemeteries, botanical gardens. The blog also contains videos, and links to posts on facebook, and a link to the merchandise store. You can also find the general links here: https://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=3.25480&tab=2; https://allforroses.creator-spring.com; https://www.facebook.com/Allforroses-103964165342717/;

Some more roses from cemeteries
Both once blooming. However, in my opinion the roses in cemeteries, and once blooming roses in general,have something about them that elevates them to a different status than the hybrid teas and the other modern roses.
Both of these roses the graves are from the early 1900s with the pink on being an older grave.
The pink one as it opens reminds me of a freshly opened Charles de Mills, but pink. As the blooms age, they lose the cupped shape. The plant suckers.
The red is a suckering slightly more than single rose. It has gallica type prickles at the base of the cane, and few prickles on the rest of the canes.

An older bloom but still the same as above. |
