I agree with how silly. The garden is ever changing even season to season but you only see that if your looking. On April 2 the rose garden will be recognizing its 'Award of Garden Excellence' from the World Federation of Rose Societies. Very prestigious and well deserved. The city seems willing to undue that too. They state that they would allow the climbers to be moved to the fence line and a few will be but the the rest of the fence line is planted with very large evergreens. In other words, too much shade to make it practical. It is not inconceivable that some smart city manager or mayor from some nearby city would be happy to have a world class rose garden, collection intact, in there city and steel them away. I hope that does not happen. My hope is that the roses out live us all right where they are as a living repository of there genetic potential in the future and that there are people to care for them as knowledgeable and dedicated as those they have now.
