The pageant of roses garden at Rose Hills Memorial Park

摘要

For more than 30 years, the Pageant of Roses Garden at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, CA, has been renowned for its beauty. During the past few years, a comprehensive restoration and expansion program was launched under the direction of Dr. Tommy Cairns, curator, and Fred Patritti, garden supervisor. Now the two rosarians have succeeded in establishing the 10-acre rose garden as one of the most outstanding in America. Approximately 9,000 rosebushes representing 400 different varieties cheer visitors with their beauty and fragrance. The garden consists of 84 different beds, each marked by visible signage that identifies the varieties.
