Column of May : A little things about Rosa

Hello everyone,how’s everything? it gets warmer in spring and it feels good to have wind blowing.

It’s been about 3 years that I can walk in our rose garden meaningfully. Once in a while i try to imagine what the designers of here were thinking about or how much they expect to. Especially at beginning of the rose garden was be created. All I understood directly to that were some classification of roses here first. The system of old roses or morden roses, flower size of them, breeding country, even though the interesting ones were named after a famous great man.

To further explain what rose is going to be in words in short period of time is would be no easy but i could show a little different photos, some parts of them that maybe you’ve never seen before and some cases of them.
