Roses in Ooty

I visited Ooty recently. The place is just a heaven for the plants. They flourish there without much help. A lot of plants that we grow with effort here grows there on the roadside or in hotels. I visited the rose garden there and was completely wowed by the variety of roses. One thing that surprised me was the size of these flowers. Most flowers were almost 10-12 cms across. That is HUGE compared to the size of roses that I have seen here in Bangalore. Here are some pictures from the Rose Garden,
