This is what a rose garden looks like out of season: the plots are used for other crops (here wheat, still green, dotted with poppies), and the roses are grown at the ends of the plots, along the walls and in hedges.
This use of all the available plots is typical of the south, where irrigated land is scarce, between the lack of water in periods of drought and the steep slopes of the valleys.
The gardens are a marvel of greenery and freshness.
As you descend a little further, towards the “plain” and Kelaat M’Gouna, the rose fields take up more space and become more orderly. But as in Boutaghar, you don’t waste a cultivable area for something else.
