In Bloom
Not to be missed in a visit to San Diego’s spectacular Balboa Park is the Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden, just across from the Natural History Museum. Open year-round and free to the public, the garden boasts nearly 200 varieties of roses and blooms from March until December.
On my visit today, much of the garden was in full bloom, with flowers in every hue imaginable and the delicate breeze wafting their sweet scents through the air. Many visitors strolled the paths; taking photos, stopping to smell the roses, or finding a spot for an afternoon picnic. I wandered the circular walkways, trying to decide which of the infinite varieties was my favorite. Personally, I love the orange and red roses, so the “Perfect Moments” variety was definitely a contender. Satisfied that I’d found a favorite, I chose a quiet spot near the fountain to read and enjoy a snack (courtesy of Harold the Lunch Monster, of course).
According to the park website, the roses are in peak bloom from April to May, so if you have a chance to visit this spring, it is definitely a sight to see.
