From 4 November 2013 the website has been rearranged, grouping photos under rose beds. Each rose will have its photo and each photo will have its individuating horticultural and historical description. At present the neatest format seems to have the description as a caption; but other formats may prove better in future.

Not all the photos are "good" or "the best" in themselves. They have been chosen to fit into the chosen portrait shape and to aid quick matching of photo to rose in vivo.

But there are others. Erictimewell (talk) 01:32, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I revisited the rose garden after nine years to find it superbly preserved and most of the roses fully mature. Rather obvious plastic name plates have been provided to most of the roses, making the website's detailed positioning redundant, but its descriptions of provenances even more helpful. As far as I can tell the haunting 'Midnight Sun' died years ago and has never been replaced. I've left it in the catalogue as a reminder that it should be.
