RHS, Rosemoor, roses

I took up bridge some 18 months ago. And as a result found myself at RHS Rosemoor, North Devon, yesterday, with four new friends. Strange how things work.

Anyway, I took dozens and dozens of photos, and had a very difficult time reducing them even to the large number here, many more than I would normally put in one post. In fact I resisted taking photos to begin with, but I knew that one regular reader adores astrantia, so this, seen quite early on, was for him. P1320733That set the rot in, and I was clicking away once we got to the Queen Mother rose garden, and I didn’t stop for the rest of the day.  P1320737001P1320740001P1320741001P1320747001P1320753001P1320755001P1320759001P1320762001P1320763001P1320765001P1320768001P1320769001

There were not just roses in the rose gardens.

The shrub rose garden came next.  P1320782001P1320784001P1320789001P1320791001P1320793001P1320796001P1320797001There we took a rest.

However five females had a great time airing their views on the wedding garb, of which, on the whole, we approved.
