This is the first time I have visited the Rose Garden when it is in full bloom, it was worth the wait. It is filled with David Austin roses, so it is a little bit like home from home for me although I have to confess that I have never visited David Austin Roses… I must remedy that 
In the Rose Garden, pathways below pergolas swathed in roses, honeysuckle and clematis lead through tumbling masses of fragrant roses, a mix of climbing, shrub, old and English varieties. There are more than three thousand David Austin Roses, including Just Joey, Jude the Obscure and Gertrude Jekyll.
In celebration of The Alnwick Garden, David Austin created a beautiful new English rose, the Alnwick Rose, launched at RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2001. This rich pink rose has a lovely cup-shaped flower and a delicious fragrance with a hint of raspberries.*
More utter beauty Cherie
I think you would have a great time in Alnwick
Come and see the Queen Mary’s Rose Garden in London.
There you can see the best collections of roses.
I think the best collection of roses was in my Dad’s front garden. It was just there, and always turned the heads of passers by
It was a lot of hard-work though
Please show us his garden!
Can’t wait to see his roses.
The rose garden I mention was a long time ago and unfortunately I was too young for taking photos. I do have more recent pictures of the rest of the garden, which does include roses.
I need someone to care for my garden that well!
Me too
I love rose gardens and I adore walled gardens. The scent, mmmmm.
I am fascinated by walled gardens, there is just something about them.
On a dismal day Cherie, I have really enjoyed looking through all your beautiful bright flower images
It is a very dismal day, we need something to cheer us up. I am glad my flowers did that for you
