Timaru Rose Garden

The Trevor Griffiths Rose garden on the Caroline Bay foreshore area is now in full bloom. Stunning visually and perfume wise. Their rose week starts on the 29 Nov, and there were a couple of gardeners fine tuning a beautiful garden - trimming the protective hedge and tucking in a couple more rose plants. Sorry most of my pictures are on my good camera.


The twenty odd walking group paused at the rose garden, they are going from the northerly head land around the Bay and wharfs to Saltwater creek in the southern end of Timaru, then up Saltwater Creek walkway, thru Centenial Park which goes almost the length of the back of the town, then back down and home. Probably a good 20 K.

However the walk was cut short. I collected some when the rain occurred. Was brilliantly sunny first thing, now steady but light rain.
