@BWRinSEA I have 2 PJP’s. Nice white rose. Other whites I have are pascali, sugar moon, heritage. All nice. My favorite red rose is Ingrid Bergman. Have 4. My favorite rose period.

@BWRinSEA Opening night is a nice rose, exhibition quality. Canadian White Star, that’s a rare one. Only ever saw it at Point Defiance. Might not be commercially available now. TRS member might have one you can get a cutting from. Have to ask around.

[Tacoma Rose Society @TacomaRoses]

@BWRinSEA No problem. Hope to see you at any/all of those functions. Once you start with roses it becomes addictive. Wife & I started with 1 plant 5 years ago, now have 50. 😳

@BWRinSEA If you attend any of these events, go up to a TRS member, introduce yourself, and tell them Noah sent you & that we talked on Twitter. Should be good to go.

@BWRinSEA Want to help with the pruning, bring a pair of sharp pruners, a 5 gallon bucket, and a pair of gloves. Usually go to dinner afterwards as a group.

One perfect Marilyn Monroe from my garden.

Jan & Rick, from my garden. Probably not well known outside the Puget Sound region. It was hybridized by a TRS member and was introduced in 2000. A lovely grandiflora. #rose #roses #flower #flowers #tacoma #tacomagarden #tacomagardens #garden #washingtonstate #pnw #pnwgarden
