Visiting
Queen Elizabeth Park Rose Garden, Vancouver, CA/Carlos Pueblo
We had
stayed two nights at Vancouver, CA for the back to back Alaska Cruise
in June,
2016. I must write something about our visit again to the rose garden
of the Queen
Elizabeth Park. I have attempted several times to visit this rose
garden ever
since our last visit in the early 90’s. I saw the park station on our
way to the
harbor and determined to visit it on our way back. Previously, I had
missed the
Park when I tried and ended up to another famous Stanley Park and
no rose
garden was found. We ran into a young student from Taipei and she was
very
surprised for such a long time yet I still missed the old rose garden and she
recommended
next time coming earlier for the cherry blossom in Vancouver. I
am also a
cherry blossom nut. We must take a transferring bus to the Park from
the subway
station. She was very nice to give up a tip to pass a busy street to
a next bus
stop right to descent to the subway steps to avoid the traffic light
across that
busy intersection.
I found that
small picnic area with a small brook of mountain spring. Our young
Kids were
playing with the freezing stream water while I was busy to eat the
Imported Lee-chi
fruit from China, I was not allowed to carry such items across
the U.S.
border. Finally, we found the lovely rose garden in my memory. I love
roses as
well as peonies, dahlias, and Japanese cherry blossom etc. I have visited
beautiful
roses gardens all over the world, just name a few for your reference,
Queen Mary’s
roses garden at the Regent’s Park in London; the city roses garden
In front of
Malaga, Spain; the city roses garden of
Buenos Aires, Argentina, and
Some for
profit commercial roses gardens. Most of the times, I visit free public
Flowers gardens.
I love flowers because they are renewable in the spring every
year, now at
my senior age, I compare flowers with the appearance of lady, young
or old, from
charming to elegantly and gracefully.
I also am
impressed with the mild weather, cleanliness and beautiful scenery of
the city of
Vancouver, Canada. I’ll come back next year a little bit earlier to catch
on the first
cruise to Alaska and also enjoy the cherry blossom of the city.
