These are picture of my roses. Most of them I took in my own garden, in the Netherlands and in Australia. Some of them were taken in other peoples gardens or in public parks. Gertrude Stein once wrote: "a rose, is a rose, is a rose". I would like to add no matter what colour or shape a rose is a rose. I have added some Australian spring 2006 pictures of roses to this gallery. I do not know always their name, but as soon as I find out I will change the name into the proper name.
