If you have not had an opportunity to visit Oakland’s Marcom Rose Garden this spring, or if you have never visited it, now is a good time. It is an oasis of more than seven acres of fragrant rose bushes near Lake Merritt, located at the end of Jean Street just off Grand Avenue. The Marcom Rose Garden is nearly 80 years old, and is the East Bay's oldest and largest public rose garden. I visited the garden on May 2, and here is a selection of roses that I photographed.
