Roses at Manito Gardens Park in Spokane, Washington

On my last morning in Washington I spent a few hours at the Manito Park Gardens in Spokane (by now – you know if I’m travelling somewhere I’m going to look for a botanical garden to photograph!). One of the highlights of the gardens was the rose garden. Not only was it full of beautiful roses – but most of them were varieties I wasn’t familiar with. I don’t know if that’s because some roses do better on the west coast than the east coast, or just that the gardens around here tend to plant similar roses. In any case, photographing these roses was a wonderful way to end a fantastic photography trip to Washington.

The Impressionist – a beautiful yellow, peach and orange rose

Neptune – a soft purple rose

Scentimental – a lovely red and white rose

And finally Brass Band – a beautiful peach and pink rose
