The Retiro park rose garden

Another beautiful feature in the Retiro is its rose garden. If only I could photograph the scent which surrounded the roses. A perfumed garden would be a more apt description. The hybrids we buy and see in many gardens today seem to have lost their scent but not in this garden. Each rose seemed sweeter than the last.

  9. Beautiful! There weren't many flowers in the Retiro when I visited it last November... but at least I got to enjoy the Fall colours!

    Roses in the garden always smell better than at home...
