Eugéne de Beauhernais, Empress Josephine's son, had lived as Viceroy of
Italy.
From the outset, Niso Fumagalli insisted on the importance of the garden as
a Trials ground. Because of his belief in the importance of perfume in roses,
the perfume prize, "La Corona della Regina Teodolinda" is the most
important prize awarded at these Monza Trials.
More than just a Trials ground, Il Roseto 'Niso Fumagalli' is also a beautiful
display garden with standards, climbers, pillars, shrub and heritage roses.

2003 Dugald MacKenzie Rose Gardens...........................Palmerston North, New
Zealand
New Zealand has a climate that is very favourable for rose growing and the
long growing season results in high levels of growth and abundant flowers.
This can be seen at its best in the Dugald MacKenzie Rose Gardens.
The Dugald MacKenzie Rose Gardens are divided into three main areas.
The Plant Variety Rights (PVR) rose variety reference collection is at one
end. The central section features roses in formal rectangular beds arranged
in a circle around a central water feature. The other end of the garden holds
the trial beds for the National Society of New Zealand's International Rose
Trials.
The International Rose Trial Grounds are now in their 34 th year and of
world repute. A special noticeboard explains to visitors how the trials are
conducted, and the winning roses are kept in the gardens for six years.
