Self Guided Tour

New QR codes will make it easier to find the name and information on your favorite rose in the garden.

Rose Garden Board President Beth Van Der Burgt has been busy the last several years identifying all the roses in the garden. This is harder than it appears since many roses have been in the garden for years and have no identifying tags on them. Plus, there are approximately 100 varieties. This identification process was accomplished by observing the rose in bloom and researching its variety.

Since many people who tour the garden would like to know the names of certain roses it was decided to add a QR code that would give information on the rose. At present, there are 85 signs with plans to add more in the spring of 2021. For some of the roses, Beth must wait until they bloom to know exactly what variety they are. To access the code install the app or use an iPhone and take a picture of the sign with code next to the rose. For iPhone see instructions.
