This week it seems that roses are blooming everywhere in Kita-ku. The streetcar even has a specially decorated rose car for the season. These are just a few of those that we pass on our way to little man's school. The scent is lovely, but in many places outdone by the concurrently blooming jasmine flowers. Mostly it is their visual qualities that make the roses so appealing, and that they are particularly abundant in the volcanic soil and humid climate of Tokyo.
