Happy Memorial Day! Just enjoying the day and thought I would share some roses at the Memphis Botanic Garden. Some photos were taken yesterday, some last summer.

Interesting how different gardens present their roses. Here it is a formal garden, edged in brick with gravel walkways.

The perimeter of the rose garden has a mix of climbers, old garden roses and shrub roses. Here are a few favorites:

Great way to relax and keep cool!

Moving on, you can still see the roses through the larkspur.

Other areas of the garden incorporate roses with perennials.

One last rose--reminds me of one of Redoute's models.

What an impressive public garden. I love the mix of formal and informal, which is so inviting. The ducks add just a bit of whimsy to the formality of the fountain and rose beds. I would love to visit this garden someday. Thanks for the lovely pics. Diane

Thank you for sharing. Never thought I'd say it, but I like the informal gardens better than the formal rose garden at this place.

I'm more of an informal, cottage-style garden fan, but I love the mix of formal and informal here. Hybrid tea bushes can be rather stark in a bed by themselves. Love the softening that mixed perennials provide.
