Today's Flowers: Looking for blooms after the freeze

When I was in Durham, NC for a meeting I almost didn't bother walking through Grace Garden because from the office parking area, I didn't see any signs of color.

I was glad that I gave it a chance.

There were parts of the garden with blossoms that were pretty in spite of damage from a hard freeze.

The rose bush below had plenty of color.

Up close the roses showed the damage from low temperatures but I like these fading beauties.

I think the flowers below are a much lighter color in the summer.

Even up close some of them look undamaged.

There were some beautiful perennials.

I'm not doing a good job of identifying plants and flowers in this post but by any other name would still . . .
