"A new rose garden, the 5-acre International Rosarium, opened in 1994, featuring more than 3,000 roses and beautifully landscaped spaces".
Doyou how recently were the rose beds torn out?
Larry,
I belong to a private rose group and one of the members wrote kind of a status report about what she saw on November 23rd. There are still some of the old roses there, but not many.
There has been a quite lengthy discussion about Descanso in this group. I would have to get permission to share posts here.
Yes, they are replacing these valuable treasures with modern roses.
Sherry .... you probably know Jill Perry who also lives in Santa Cruz and is the curator of the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. I think she would know if the SJHRG got any of Barbara's roses.
