Are Roses Really a Symbol of Love and Romance?

Rose gardens have been an important focus in our Botanic Garden since 1886 when they were established in Hector's Teaching Garden. Join us on this walk to enjoy the roses as they emerge from their winter rest. We will learn how hybridizers and their families have fallen in love with roses, devoting their lives to develop roses influenced by history and those we want to remember.

Meet in the Lady Norwood Garden, in front of the Begonia House for this 75 to 90-minute walk. Cost: $5 (cash only, please).

This is part of the regular walks run by the Friends of the Wellington Botanic Garden, they run twice monthly throughout the year with a different topic every time.
Join the Friends for only $30 a year and all the walks will be free, as well as other great benefits. https://friendsofthewellingtonbotanic.wordpress.com/join-us/
