Today was Exile #3's birthday treat family day out. Her small party will be on Sunday when it is her actual birthday. After we planned the day around her requests, it was almost an afterthought for us to pop back into the Yaddo gardens hoping to find the roses in bloom. We were not disappointed.
This is definitely the time of year to go for maximum impact. The sight and smell of the roses is quite amazing. Some of the fountains are operational and fairly lovely too - one even had ornamental fish swimming in it. There were a few parts of the gardens that were more impressive on our last visit in May, and some water features are still dry even now, but the roses are quite special at the moment.
Update: Flickr slideshow of the photos.
