In keeping with the theme of this column, it seemed appropriate to visit a nursery as far from the United States as possible. Ludwig's Roses in Pretoria, South Africa, may not be the farthest away, but it is close. The aggregate distances from New York and Los Angeles to Pretoria is 18,526 miles; by comparison those to Aukland, New Zealand, and Sydney, Australia, total 15,331 and 17,432 miles respectively.
