Roses are Red and pink and yellow

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

Wiliam Shakespeare

Blooming in the heat of Labor Day Weekend.

I wouldn't have thought that Julia Child would smell like licorice.

An indelicate moniker for such a pretty rose.

Two toned petals.

Now that is an enchanting name!

Descanso Gardens

Sunday was hot.

Hot hot hot. In the high 90's. Not much of a breeze.

But Descanso Gardens, even at high noon, was gorgeous.

Let's take a sloooooow walk so we don't get overheated...

Descanso Gardens is worth a trip to LaCanada Flintridge.
