“And the rose itself has got perfume which on earth is not”

These quotes are randomly spread everywhere in the rose garden, ooty and make you occupied with thoughts of roses, roses and only roses.
Rose garden, Ooty is one of the famous tourist spots in Ooty. It is maintained by Horticultural department.

More than the roses, I was amused by the location. It is on one cliff with altitude of 2.2km overlooking the light grey clouds trying to kiss those tall tress and a petty town.

Present day Rose garden, Ooty harbors 20,000 varieties of roses.
There are roses in every imaginable size , color and names too. Some were almost half my head. The person(s) who chose names for different species might be very creative, some very eccentric kind of names were seen.
The names like ‘Jayalalitha’ were really surprising.

Deep red, peachy pink ones are my favorite.
I have seen pics of Ooty flower show during which the roses are decorated in very adorable shapes.
You can spend some time here just chilling. When I say chilling, I meant literally..
A slow walk through the near crescent shaped garden is very relaxing.
