Today after visiting the library I walked over to the Tracy Rose Garden to take some pictures. It was not a long walk as it is right beside the library 🙂

The Rose Garden was dedicated in 1990 and was donated by the Tracy Community Garden Club.

Over the years I have really enjoyed walking through the rose garden as it has a lot of nice roses.

Tonight I will share a few of the pictures that I took today.

Here you see one quadrant of the rose garden. There is an outer ring of beds and two inner rings with paths that run between them.

There are a lot of interesting roses in the garden and I wish that they had names displayed for each of them. I could probably look them up, and it is a possibility that I might as there are a few that I might like to have in my own garden.

I really like this rose with pink and white petals.

This is a beautiful color for a rose. We have had heat and then wind so the edges of the petals are a bit wilted.

Here is another interesting rose. You can see that the color of the rose changes somewhat as it opens. I like the combination of the pink and yellow. It looks like the yellow fades and the pink intensifies as it opens.

In the center of the rose garden there is a sculpture that is also a place to sit. Somewhere I have some closeup pictures of the details. Perhaps I will share them someday.

It is nice to see the return of roses in the spring. Luckily, we have a long blooming season for roses. There are only a few months of the year when I don’t have roses blooming.

What type of rose should I add to my garden?
