Last time I posted on here, I regrettably neglected to check for community events taking place in Columbus while searching for the Columbus Park of Roses, and I ended up trapped in a 5K.
Not this time.
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, so I made sure to check for community events while planning my visit to the rose park. There is another 5K planned for tomorrow, so I decided to visit today.
Unlike my last visit, the roses at the park were in bloom. According to the official park website, the 13-acre park contains over 12,000 roses of more than 400 varieties, in addition to 100 varieties of other flowers, shrubs, and decorative grasses.
I can definitely believe there are that many varieties after wandering through the gardens. Below is a small collection of all the roses I saw on my walk today.
