Photo Story: Roses Like Christmas Lights

Here's a look at some of Bayside's best horticulture spotted this week.

I thought we thought were set for the week for photos of stand-out Bayside gardens—until we happened upon these two properties, on 216th Street off Northern Blvd.

These roses were as bright and eye-catching as Christmas lights. We had to turn onto the street, get out and snap some photos. 

The green-thumbed owner of the home closer to Northern Blvd. said she spent about 30 minutes, two or three times per week to tend the roses.
