    This place sets my eyes on fire with some many colorful roses. I came here with friends in October and now I'm back in July and what a difference! The summer bloom is a lot better and the amazing scents are heavenly. I love it. I'll definitely return whenever I'm back in Portland and I highly recommend it to all visitors. Take your time strolling here, bring a sandwich, and a good camera.

Binh's old friend, Kierstin, made this …
