Greece
Mainland and Islands  April 14-23, 2004

These photos were taken at various locations in Athens, the Central Peloponesse, the north coast of the Corinthian Sea, and at various Greek Islands in the Aegean Sea. There were plenty of Spring flowers in bloom to photograph, a few of them roses. We kept our eyes open for old and species roses as the bus rolled through the cities and countryside. Modern HTs and shrub roses were most common, and we spotted a few other interesting varieties. The most common older rose was Rosa indica major, an often used rootstock. There are a total of 50 photos, of which 22 are roses.
