More Roses

Welcome to the Street Prophets Coffee Hour cleverly hidden at the intersection of religion, art, science, food, and politics. This is an open thread where we can share our thoughts and comments about the day. Roses symbolize love, royalty, beauty, sensuality, secrecy, and mysticism.

In 1904, the City of Spokane, Washington, obtained 95 acres of land which became Manito Park. The name manito is an Algonquian Indian word for spiritual forces. Rose Hill was developed in the late 1940s as a joint venture between the Spokane Rose Society and the Spokane Parks and Recreation Department. The gardens now hold 150 varieties of hybrid tea, grandiflora, floribunda, and miniature roses. Shown below are nearly a dozen different roses from the garden.

(I posted the original Roses at the wrong time: I failed to indicate PM when I put it in the queue and it posted AM. So, here are another dozen different roses.)
