Now is a perfect time to visit rose gardens throughout the United States. One of my favorite gardens is the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden. When I bought my first house in California, it had a beautiful rose garden with roses that had huge rootstocks and many were as almost 40 years old. I had no idea how to take care of them and went to a pruning clinic at the San Jose garden. I learned a lot, met some great friends and ended up with beautiful roses in my home garden. I still go back to my old house in San Jose and check on my roses.
I also think rose gardens are great places to take those family holiday photos.
