Berkeley Rose Gardens

May 13th: We visited two rose gardens in Berkeley, California. Leaving Pacifica at 2:30, it took two hours and 15 minutes to get to Berkeley. Leaving Berkeley at 7:30, it took 30 minutes to get back to Pacifica, and the traffic heading toward Berkeley looked as slow as it was at 2:30!

University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley, Garden of Old Roses:













The Berkeley Rose Garden is a terraced public garden located on a steep slope in a residential area above the town. The names of all the roses appear on wooden plaques, with just a few needing to be replaced. Alas, Karen forgot to take a notebook to record the names of the roses and cannot remember the name of a single one of these beauties. We wish we could share the wide variety of wonderful fragrances with you!
