🌹 A Morning in Portland’s Rose Paradise! 🌹

Just visited the International Rose Test Garden—and wow, every bloom is more stunning than the last! The colors, the fragrance... pure magic. ✨ 🌸 Highlights: Over 10,000 roses in every shade imaginable (peak season = sensory overload!). Met two Chinese-speaking girls (one Taiwanese, one Shandong accent) among the flowers—random Mandarin convos in an American garden felt surreal! FREE entry (because Portland loves us). 📍 Practical Tips: 🚗 Parking available, but transit-friendly (bus stops nearby). 🌳 Pair it with: A stroll/picnic in Washington Park (huge & gorgeous!). 🎋 Bonus stop: The Japanese Garden next door (worth the ticket!). #PortlandRoses #RoseGarden #TravelOregon #Wanderlust
