Winter Garden, Helsinki

Thank you for your help in identifying this beautiful flower -
this was my title before I got the right answer: Looks Like a Rose

In Finnish: salkoruusu (I'm learning new things every day!)

Splendid Hollyhock Ceya!! One of my favourite summer flowers. I'll check my files because I shot some at a neighbours farm in Manitoba this summer and see if I can find a decent one to post. Cheers, Judy

Beautiful image, Ceya. Is not a rose for sure, I think Yvonne has it properly identified. V
