Uetersen, on the outskirts of Hamburg is a thriving rose breeding center and the Uetersen Rosarium is a 'must-see' for rose enthusiasts. I took this photo of the rose Nostalgie at the Uetersen Rosarium yesterday. 
A new book about the Rosarium and about Roses has just been released (in German with English summaries). It documents the history of the many roses bred in the area and is full of excellent photos ... like the one on the cover.
Co-author of the book Hanny Tantau, showing a group of garden lovers around the Rosarium. A spot of drizzly rain was not enough to stop the tour. Fortunately for the roses, the heavy rain that has brought southern Germany to a standstill has not reached the north.
