A visit to the Woodland Park Rose Garden in June is like walking through a dream. Time stands still. Surrounded by fragrance, unforgettable. Glowing light and soft petals, heavy with raindrops, bowing down to the earth. Peaceful people, unhurried, smiling. One of my favorite dreams.

Mmmm, gorgeous. Can almost smell them from here! 😉
Love all these lovely photos. What a Peach and Grace are my favorites!
Beautiful photos! The shot of the gorilla is so well taken – love it. I also like the colours of the ‘Cherry Parfait’.
Absolutely stunning!
My dream is to go to the David Austin rose garden in England….someday!
Wouldn’t that be fabulous? Pure bliss! 🙂
I am interested in publishing one of your Woodland Park rose garden images in our annual Gardening publication (“Good companions, lavender and roses”). Do you allow for commercial reproduction of your photography?
Yes, feel free to use my images, just credit me please. And I would love the link to your publication! Thanks, Elaine
