While on Burnaby Mountain, take the time to meander through the rose garden behind the Horizon Restaurant on the western end of the mountain. The art sculptures are also nearby! The view from the top of the mountain (top photo overlooks Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm) is fantastic but the garden has something special to offer as well. Its a great place to view the many roses and other plants or to relax on a bench to admire the blooms or just to meditate.
The photo above and the two below show the climber called "
Dortmund", a rose I had in my garden back east with one climber on each side of the back patio. They are very vigorous and repeat flowering.

The roses in the photo above and below are lovely though I can't remember their names for the moment. The notes are hidden somewhere. The latter rose also had a visitor gathering nectar, so its not always bees and butterflies! I hope you have enjoyed this short visit to another wonderful rose garden, this one on Burnaby Mountain. Check it out when you're out this way. Roses are in bloom into the autumn when the nearby Japanese cherry trees have their leaves in colour, yet another sight to see! - Volker

Fantastic shots here; I'll have to start taking tips off of you!
Thanks! I've been taking photos since age 9, so you're more that welcome to ask for advice. It is freely given. - Volker
