I will be going to The Oldest city Rose garden in Hartford Conn this coming weekend. The 2.5 acre park has 800 varieties of rosses (over 15,000 plants) and should be in full bloom over the next few weekends.

If anyone (especially photo buffs)is interested in this as an informal cruise let me know.

Hi Bruce,
Don't know if you already went here or not. I just saw this posting today. This seems like a good place for me to take the wife! I am sure others may want to go as well.
This would be great for some nice macro or landscape shots. allowing us to experiment with some of the artsy modes on the camera.

Sounds good any one else up for it

 

Bruce,
Do you have an idea of how long the blossoms will be out?
Should we go maybe July 4th weekend?
Stan

 

I know the smaller Norwich Garden has roses into October. Are you aware of any public and free (or cheap) gardens in Mass or RI?
