The Magical Rose Garden

I passed by the Garden close to Balboa Park this morning and stopped for a few photos.
This one is straight out of the camera, but looks better in original than on PBase.
The Garden has over 2,500 roses of nearly 200 varieties on a three-acre site.
The Roses are in bloom every month of the year except January and February when they are cut.
It's not officially known as the the Magical Rose Garden Gallery, I just call it that.
