I think it’s about time to finish this gallery so am just posting my last pictures pretty much all at once, except for the last two of the garden itself. Thanks for the great comments and votes! I’ve never been a huge fan of “classic” roses, but the ones in this garden were something special, and I have been converted!

According to Wiki: “The International Rose Test Garden is a rose garden in Washington Park in Portland, Oregon. There are over 7,000 rose plants of approximately 550 varieties. The roses bloom from April through October with the peak coming in June, depending on the weather. New rose cultivars are continually sent to the garden from many parts of the world and are tested for color, fragrance, disease resistance and other attributes. It is the oldest continuously operating public rose test garden in the United States and exemplifies Portland's nickname, 'City of Roses’."
