First up, March 2020 footage from Insel Mainau, a "flower island" on the German side of Lake Constance. Then below the jump, first, 2020 footage of Schloss Arenenberg, on the shore of Lake Constance in Thurgau, Switzerland (voiceover in German). Last, 2019 footage of the rose garden at the Ittingen Charterhouse, a former Carthusian monastery located in the region between Lake Constance and Zürich, in Switzerland.
The rose video is lovely. I miss German roses — it just seems they have so many more than we do, and they smell better. I used to smell them everywhere walking around our neighbourhood, coming from yards and growing wild.
Meanwhile here in Canada I have an expensive rosebush that is supposed to smell fantastic, and barely smells at all. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong, or my yard is.
I do not know enough about roses! So can only agree that video is lovely, and I hope that garden smells as good as it looks.
