    I've just been on a visit to Ooty, located in the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu, India. While there I just had to visit the Rose Garden. Unfortunately I just missed the annual flower show, but there were still many beautiful roses to see.

    Not all the varieties were labelled, but this was. It's 'Royal Amethyst', and had a heavenly scent.

    Yes it was lovely. Every so often we'd stop and breathe in the scent. And the air is very lovely up there anyway.

    Not sure of any cultivar name; just know them as China Rose.

    Hi there!
    Greetings from Singapore!
    I had to include this one - it's named after the river from which I get my name! Pity it looks a little sickly.
