Bringing back the #RoseFestival seems like a strange choice since it hasn't been really mediocre at best since the 90s, has cost #Portland millions more than it makes for 2 decades, generally disliked by everyone who lives or works downtown, and COVID gave a really tidy place to quietly end it without sanctimony. #pdx

This is a beautiful rose, I'd love to have one. We have a small rose garden in the front yard already, I'm not sure if we could squeeze this one in though.
