The Grimaldi Rose

Grimaldi is the name of the Princely family and this beautiful rose, named for the family, is currently in flower in the Princess Grace Rose Garden.

Beautiful, don't you think?

As Winter as it Gets

This is about as 'winter' as it gets in Monaco. We're in the Princess Grace Rose Garden - the roses have been pruned and fed and are waiting for spring. The olives have had a heavy pruning too - but not long now, and buds will be bursting.

That's the circus tent you see in the background.
