Location: Portland, Oregon- Rose Garden
This Morning i went to the Rose Garden in Portland. It was beautiful. There were hundreds of roses all different colors. I smelled so many and they all varied in smell. The lighter colored yellow and light pinks and purples did not seem to have much of a smell but the deep red roses had a smell that i didn't even have to get close to notice. It was so strong and beautiful. After looking at hundreds of different roses and many many different colors, i found two roses in particular that i found to be my favorites. They almost looked as though someone had taken a white rose and colored it. They were white, light pink, dark pink, and many shades of red all in different splotches and shapes. They looked fake. They were so pretty and like nothing i had ever seen growing, only things i would see in a grocery store. I did not know they could make roses look like that. When you walk a little ways you will see a circular arboretum with a stage and long ledges for people to sit. It was so nice to sit there and look out onto the city of Portland. At one spot you can see the whole city and Mount Hood and it is beautiful. It is one of my favorite views that i've seen here.
