Ally Pally Rose - a photo on Flickriver

Ally Pally Rose

            Wandering around the gardens of the Alexandra Palace (name dropping?), my eye was caught by the beautiful white roses (see below).  I took a few shots, of the roses and attendant Hoverflies.
Then my attention was hooked by the roses in the next bed (above).  The range of colours was stunning, from the fresh new colours in the centre, to the vivid mature colours of the outer petals.
Unfortunately I didn't see the gardener, or a label.  I'd like this one in my garden.
Beautiful.
