This is part of a rose garden tucked away in a quiet courtyard shared by the university and a Catholic parish. I learned from Sheila, who works in a nearby building and who joined me in taking photos, that this garden was the idea of one of the priests who recently passed away. He designed it with the idea of creating a medieval garden, a place for visitors to find quiet and sustenance. (Thank you to Sheila, who explained all of this to me.)
@gardencat Hi Joanne- I really don't know my roses, but I did notice a fragrance for sure. I used my plant ID app to identify the different rose bushes: china rose, french rose, and dog rose. I don't know which ones produce the lovely scent. I will need to visit again.
@beryl "cabbage rose"- I like that, Beryl! I went back today to capture them in close-up, and I couldn't help seeing them as pink cabbages, albeit with a fabulous fragrance! :-)
