I visited the David Drew Rose Garden in Southampton yesterday. It's on a hill near the new library.There are dozens of roses in all colors and sizes arranged in a square with brick paths, arbors, pergolas, and a wonderful gazebo. The lifesize figure of a child quietly presides over it all. Though yesterday was just the beginning of the display period, there were enough roses in bloom to cheer anyone's heart.The garden is maintained by the Southampton Rose Society

Wow that is fabulous! My roses are doing aweful, I just don't get them. Do these roses smell purty??
Some did. I didn't sniff all 85 of them!
Your roses might be overwatered. There's lots of good info on the internet.
If you follow that link I gave and click on Articles, there are 3 or 4 that might help you.
My favorites are the climbing roses! I love how thickly they cover the various structures.
Yes, the climbers are the most spectacular, and it seems the earliest.
Oh how lovely :)
My daughter dug up a rose bush from my garden a few weeks ago, she was so proud and happy to tell me today how well it's flourishing in her garden. Makes my heart happy that she too is falling under the gardening spell.
Really nice pictures, what a beautiful garden.
