City of Roses

Yes, Portland Oregon is the City of Roses!

Portland celebrates the rose with the Rose Festival in June!
I enjoy walking the Rose Garden and watching the Parade.

View of Mt. Hood from the Portland Rose Garden!

However, this is March and the holiday we all

 celebrate is St. Patrick's Day!

 Shades of Green are one of my favorite colors.

It is the color of nature... trees, evergreens, leaves.

Four Leaf Clovers!

Also, Roses!

My Rose Choice is the Green Tea Rose!

Green Tea Roses

Green roses symbolizes newness and growth.

As we are in a new home with "mud" right now as landscaping.

The Green Tea rose bush will be perfect to surround the ends of our new vineyard.

Perhaps I might plant a little clover around it for Good Luck!

Spontaneity!
