Getting rosy

Discovered this morning that the Rose Garden in Balboa Park is mostly blooming nicely, so stopped to take photos, and ended up with three I liked, all macros, samples of which below:

"Easter Basket" rose

"Chihuly" rose

"Blueberry Hill" rose

While taking the photos, I was amused by the names of the varieties of roses being grown.

In addition to these three, I also saw name plates for the following varieties:
  • Burgundy Iceberg
  • Lovestruck
  • Teeny Bopper
  • Rock 'n' Roll
  • About Face
  • and, the Julia Child rose
Took photos of all of these, but was not happy with the results. There were more roses in the garden, however my camera started showing a low battery warning, so that was that.
