Today we’re headed to Kerala, India, to enjoy some beautiful blooms from Sreeja Sarathkumar’s rose garden.
These beautiful rose blooms are in the brightest possible shade of pink.
A perfect white rosebud is just beginning to unfurl. This photo also gives a look at how Sreeja’s roses grow—in pots! Roses will thrive in large containers, and this can be a great way to enjoy plants if you don’t have a traditional garden space.
Many roses change color a little as they age. This one is fading from pink to nearly white, and the combination of colors that shift produces is beautiful.
The tips of these petals look like they got a little toasted by hot weather, but they are no less beautiful.
Surrounding this brilliant red rose is a reminder that any patio or other space can become a garden with the addition of a few containers.
Dark red roses look perfect against the backdrop of a light-colored wall.

A delight to see your roses and how to create a beautiful space with containers.
So very pretty - I wonder if they have trouble with Japanese beetles there? I love roses and have a few in my gardens but really battle the beetles.
So nice the way you grew so many nice colorful roses in your garden space!
You give me the courage to try the same with growing them in pots!
Keep up the nice work!
I hope you see my comment. I love, love, love seeing gardens from other countries. Yours is so lovely.
