Rosa Daniel Gelin. Out of season but I thought a cheerful shot might help dispel some wintry blues!

Named after a French actor.. Better on full screen.

Rose Garden, Retiro Park, Madrid. For Marie-Claire and Pam.

The rose garden in El Parque de El Buen Retiro, Madrid. I will visit again soon for this year's show!

El Retiro Park Rose Garden in between the downpours, The roses got knocked about a bit but at least it wasn't hail.

Parque del Buen Retiro, Madrid, rose garden. I have since discovered who Daniel Gelin was (thank you Marie-claire!)

El Retiro rose garden, Madrid. First shown in 2017. These are my favourite roses. I had them in a London garden but didn't take cuttings before I left and then spent 25 years looking for it! Not easy when I didn't have a name! But the colour is distinctive as is the dark green of the leaves (apparently an indication of an old variety). I did eventually spot it in a Portreath garden (Cornwall) and also a London front garden (in both cases the owners weren't in so I couldn't ask for a cutting) and then, miraculously in the rose garden of the Retiro park, Madrid!

Rosa Daniel Gelin. I discovered, some time after posting this, that Daniel Gelin was a well-known French actor who died in the early 90s.
