The wild nootka roses (rosa nutkana) are blooming again, despite what feels like continual rain. Hillsides at the Dungeness Recreation Area have bushes polka dotted with pink.
The blossoms only last a few days, but the bushes are profuse with them. And their perfume is wonderful. Below is the view along the trail where these flowers grew along the Dungeness Bluffs. The Olympic Mountains in the distance are cloaked in one of the day’s many rain squalls.
I see this or something very similar quite often in gardens here in Yorkshire. Always wondered what kind of rose it was.
Love those SO much… I pick the buds and dry them for sachets… do you?
Lovely shots,love the rain drops 🙂
Remind me of my wild yellow rose that blooms in spring — so pretty and fragrant.
A pretty flower, considering it’s wild.
I captured some similar shots yesterday – such a lovely flower!
