The Golden Gate Rose Society

The Golden Gate Rose Society here in San Francisco is comprised of rose enthusiasts and nature lovers from around the bay area who dedicate themselves to teaching and preserving the fine art of rose care and display. They produce free monthly showings around the bay area which consist of planting roses, classes on how to choose roses, caring for roses and creating unique displays. I attended the show yesterday at the county fair building on 9th and Lincoln located adjacent to the botanical gardens. There were not many people there though the flower displays were beautiful. So, I thought I'd share a few of them with you. Of course being right next to the Botanical Gardens I had to spend some time there as well. I will bring those photos to you tomorrow. Enjoy!

Lovely pictures, Jo, but, so far, the most magnificent display of roses I've seen, thus far in the world is at Buchart Gardens, near Victoria, British Columbia. It is an amazing places at any time of years for all their flowal extravaganzas but, especially so, in June when the roses are center stage!

Hi Joanne,

Nice pictures. Roses are my favorite. And roses are the perfect subject to catch their essences
in photography. Very nice!

Oh, Joanne, those are stunning. I love roses, but around here, they're deer food. Not worth the trouble, you know?
Beautiful photos of roses! I love to smell them also.

Awwww you've got some seriously gorgeous roses there! Wish I could have been there too. I love the first photo - the different shades. I could almost smell the fragrance of Attar!
