I don't know where it is but I'd love to know. This is a garden I've been planning in my head for five or six years. I have rose lists and some of the layout. I don't have the land, the time, or the funds to really do this right but I think it could be a really interesting garden. -- Henry |

Laura,
I am unaware of the rose garden that you are seeking but the Historic Roses Group (RNRS) will probably be able to put you on track with rose history. To quote from one of there recent leaflets:- "Some of the world's greatest roses were bred in the British Isles. What can we show for this rich heritage in Britain today? Many British roses survive only beyond our shores. The best collections of British roses now are at Sangerhausen in Germany, at Cavriglia in Italy and at L'Hay-les-Roses in France. Alone among the major nations of the western world, Britain has no historic collection of national roses. The Historic Roses Group has started to put this right. Over the next four years. The Historic Roses Group will acquire budwood of all British roses bred before 1950 which are known to be still in existence. There are over 1,000 of them. The collection will be assembled from gardens, institutes and amateurs around the world and established in Britain. It will form a unique record of rose breeding over the last 300 years - a national collection of roses raised in the British Isles. They can be contacted at:- Historic Roses Group Royal National Rose Society Chiswell Green St Albans Herts AL2 3NR, U.K. Or via the Links Page on the Bexrose Web Site Regards Martin Double Bexrose - Webmaster Email: Web Site: http://home.btconnect.com/cadoss/bexrose "laura" wrote in message ...
