Red Rose in the Marston House Gardens, San Diego, California

On an excursion to the Balboa Park area in San Diego yesterday afternoon, my sister and I encountered this perfect fragrant red rose along one of the garden paths at the historic Marston House.

It was such a lovely harbinger of spring (along with two cotton-tail rabbits), I had to share it with you.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may!

  1. I think that is a Double Delight rose - red on the inside of the petals, white on the outside, extremely sweet scented. It is one of my favorites. It is sold by Jackson and Perkins.
