A visit to the Rudolf W. Van Der Goot Rose Garden

On the last August Sunday afternoon we decided to go visit the last of the roses in bloom at the recently restored Rose Garden in Somerset, NJ and also view bits of the garden for inspiration in advance of fall planting since the surrounding park is that of a specimen garden in the English style of landscape architecture.

Blue stone paths and new concrete bed edging looking tidy.

Long arbors for climbing roses behind the shrub roses.

This rose is named Betty White!

A hummingbird moth.

Walking outside the garden there are beautiful specimen trees.
