This is the third and last post in a series about a weekend getaway my wife and I did to Prescott, Arizona in late October. The series has focused on our visit to the Sharlot Hall Museum. In the first blog, I included some shots of the log buildings that are on the grounds of the museum and the second blog focused on shots I took inside some of those log structures. This last post is of the Territorial Rose Garden on the grounds. The garden was originally planted in 1948 on the south side of the Governor’s Mansion. In 1974, it was moved to its current location on the north side of the Governor’s Mansion where it can be seen from the street. We were fortunate in capturing the garden at its peak for the season as we head further into fall and winter.
Enjoy these macro shots of stunning blooms from a beautiful rose garden.

I enjoyed my journey with you both.
Thank you very much….I appreciate the fact that you took the time to stop by!!!
You weren’t exaggerating, Kirt, these photos are stunning !
Thanks Dan!! Hard not to have a stunning shot with this subject matter!!
I don’t know, Kirt. I find macro shots very hard to compose. Judging from some that I see, I’m not alone. You have a gifted eye.
I appreciate the compliment!! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos of roses Kirt. I miss my rose garden and love yours, especially the first golden one and the later peach one. I can almost smell them. 🙂
Thanks Brad…..I love roses and this display was a feast for the eyes!!
I like how the garden offsets the front of the cabin.
And that shot only captures a portion of the garden…it truly is huge!!
Sounds wonderful!
What gorgeous rose photos, Kirt! It’s amazing what a strong memory scents are. I’d have sworn I smelled roses when I started looking at them. Beautiful post. Mega hugs.
Thanks Teagan, I was really pleased with the way they came out!!
My thought is that I enjoyed this series and have added the museum to my list of places to visit.
You take macro shots of roses with the best of them, Kirt!
Gina….thank you very much!! I was really impressed with the museum and the grounds….plus we learned a lot about Arizona history, which we did not know.
I’m grateful that you shared it with us!
Excellent.
Thank you very much!!
Amazing beautiful photos, Kirt 🙂
Thank you very much Irene!!
The roses are so vivid Kirt. I kept wanting to reach out and touch them on the screen. Beautifully captures.
Thank you very Sue!!
Seriously?? These are amazing!
Thanks Nancy!! Hard to miss with the rose garden at its peak!!
Beautiful photos of roses… Brings back memories of a beautiful rose garden we visited just outside of Paris and of another in Montreal, Canada. Roses are not my most favorite flower, I personally prefer irises and red poppies. Maybe it’s the thorns I don’t like. But as far as smell goes,and varieties, they do top the charts.
