Roses in the Montréal Botanical Garden

I visited the Montreal Botanical Garden yesterday and was delighted to discover a lovely rose garden there.

Guess what? I went crazy with my camera again and took lots of photos. Here are the roses I really liked (note: names of roses indicated in square brackets, as they were labelled at the botanical garden). Now, all I have to do is be able to make marzipan (or pulled sugar) roses as beautiful as these one day. :)

The next two photos are for my sister.


I am sure she knows exactly why I took this photo.


I saw this cute little creature in the botanical garden, but wasn't sure what it was. I have been told that it is a chipmunk.
