Ikuta Green Rose Garden has become an annual event.

Last year, the spring opening was canceled, but this year, perhaps because Kanagawa has not declared a state of emergency, it was open from today.

Looking at the roses in my neighborhood, most of them are in full bloom and the early ones are nearing the end.

I was working today, but I had to go early, otherwise the flowers would be all gone, so I took the day off and went.

It was the end of a long holiday, but some people were probably still off, and I think it was for the same reason as I wrote above,

but there were quite a few people there.

I only take pictures of flowers I like, so the pictures were the same as always...(;´∀｀)

I came back in about an hour (no need to stay long)

It was a little cloudy, which was good for taking pictures of flowers.

A rose whose name I can't remember.

I take pictures of the orange one every time I come here... So I guess I should remember it (;´∀｀)

Jude the Obscure (foreground) was still in bud... (;´･ω･)

I want to buy a seedling, but Austin seedlings are expensive and I have no confidence in growing them.

A rose called Ozilia.

Apparently it was made in Germany.

The black rose I always take pictures of, Black Baccarat.

Black Tea.

Beautiful Shocking Blue.

Wind of Ihatov.

William Morris.

English Rose.

As always, I like black, orange, orange-ish yellow and pink.

I want to plant roses, but I don't need so many.

Looks like a curling stone...lol
