Matthews Roses

In the midst of roadside corn fields and paddocks along Highway 3, a rose garden 
catches your attention just south of Whanganui.
 It was planted by Matthews Roses as a public display
and has places for picnics or just stretch your legs.

    A lovely, and civic-minded gesture. I am sure that many have enjoyed visiting.

    Planting the roses at the roadside layby was public spirited by the garden company and a good place to take a break when on your travels. Wishing you a good weekend.

    Gosh, that looks so inviting - of course, who would not want to drive on in! Those roses are stunning!
    Happy Chinese New year from Bangkok!

    What a wonderful thing for a garden company to do! I love the sign that encourages drivers to stop and come in.

    I just noticed your note at the bottom of this comment box. I'll have to look again at mine, but I don't think it has it there. How did you do that? I am having quite a time with anonymous comments right now too.

    Roses are such beautiful flowers , at least to look at and to smell. I don't grow them because we have small grandchildren around the garden very often.
