'Daydream' roses in state fair garden

‘Daydream’ roses

I posted many of these shots on the MSHS Facebook fan page, but wanted to share them more broadly, too. A group of horticulture society volunteers work all summer to create and nurture the wonderful MSHS State Fair garden, which is located just south of the Horticulture Building on the Fairgrounds. Visit the state fair garden, then come inside the hort building and say hello to the good folks of the Minnesota State Horticulture Society.
