"The rose garden complex began with Singer and Hodges landscape designers drawing up plans for the open sloping area between the Ward Garden and the City Park boundary to the northeast of it. The earliest main planting areas were the Gazebo, the Tearose Circle, and the Florubunda Terraces (1991-1994), followed by the English Border in 1996. The area is punctuated throughout by upright poles, posts, arbors, and trellises providing a variety of rose displays. A wood and wire hedge support was the latest structure to be built, in 1998-1999, as a Boy Scout project. Walkways, brick paths, stairways, and memorial benches also contribute to the scene. Each area demonstrates one rose type or another to its best advantage. A new Rose Trellis is being installed in Spring 1999 as a joint Boy Scout/GHF project." (visit link)
