Holiday goers are enjoying a rose festival at a park in Tochigi Prefecture, north of Tokyo, on Saturday.
About 2,000 rose plants in 240 varieties are on display at the 4,200-square-meter Igashira Park in Mooka City.
Among the most popular kinds are "Charleston," which has petals that change color from yellow to red, and "Gold Bunny" with round yellow petals.
People were seen buying seedlings at low prices and enjoying free rose hip tea. A woman says she enjoyed viewing the beautiful open roses although there are not many yet.
Park officials say bad weather this spring has delayed the roses from blooming fully, and that the best viewing time will be after next week.
