Species from the warmer parts of Asia have done superbly well, wild Rosa
gigantea, Rosa longicuspis from Yunnan, Rosa cymosa, wild forms of Rosa
banksiae and the original form of Rosa chinensis var spontanea. Other rare
species that thrive are several forms of Rosa abyssinica from Ethiopia and
the wild Rosa gallica. Cultivars of old China roses and ramblers have done
equally well.
2003 Inez Parker Memorial Rose Garden.......................San Diego, United States
of America
The Inez Parker Memorial Rose Garden was carefully planned to be a
model municipal rose garden that would stand the test of time in good as
well as hard times of municipal and park department funding. It was
planned to be of modest size capable of being staffed by one full-time
gardener. It was placed in the most prominent part of Balboa Park for the
maximum enjoyment by the public and for exposure to critical review so
that it could not be ignored if it were not well tended.
The garden is unique in America because the first bloom occurs about April
10 and the garden is rarely out of fine colour through the end of November.
The garden is a popular wedding location, television site and teaching tool
for rose horticulture.
2003 The Gardens of the American Rose Society ...........Shreveport, United
States of America
The Gardens of the American Rose Society is the largest park in the United

Rose Center in Shreveport, Louisiana are in a naturalistic, park-like setting
and are composed of many different rose gardens. There are gardens
devoted to the All-America Rose Selections, Miniature Roses, single petaled
roses, the nation's newest hybrids and 62 "backyard" rose gardens.
The Gardens also serve as a Trial Ground for amateur hybridizers and as the
American Rose Society Miniature Rose Test Garden.
2006 Coughton Court ........................................................Alcester, England
The superb new flower garden was opened in 1996 in what was the old
walled garden of the Throckmorton Estate. It is here that most of the roses
grow - over 100 cultivars of old roses and around 40 modern varieties. They
are complemented by plantings of shrubs, herbaceous and tender perennials,
all contributing to a breathtaking spectacle of colour, shape and texture.
