I've just been on a visit to Ooty, located in the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu, India. While there I just had to visit the Rose Garden. Unfortunately I just missed the annual flower show, but there were still many beautiful roses to see.
Visit to Rose Garden, Ooty (Nilgiris, India)
Not all the varieties were labelled, but this was. It's 'Royal Amethyst', and had a heavenly scent.
The Green Rose (rosa viridiflora - I think)
Don't know the name of this one.
This is a lovely apricot colour.
This was a deep velvety red.
A burgundy rose. No label unfortunately.
I'm not sure what this is, but it's an adorable little rose.
They had a range of variegated roses.
Tangerine and yellow.
Gorgeous roses!!
How lovely Gangajay, thanks for posting! I bet it smelt just heavenly in those gardens.
Yes it was lovely. Every so often we'd stop and breathe in the scent. And the air is very lovely up there anyway.
Great thread Gangajay!
Roses are tropical too!
One more tropical Rose!
Wow, those are gorgeous! What are their names?
Not sure of any cultivar name; just know them as China Rose.
Yes they are lovely

Hi there!
Greetings from Singapore!
I had to include this one - it's named after the river from which I get my name! Pity it looks a little sickly.
