Roses in
Flagstaff
The Olivia
White Hospice Rose Garden
by Carol
Chicci
Nestled around the gracious wooden gazebo of the Olivia
White Hospice Home is the rose garden. Forty-five varieties and 70 rose bushes
total bloom among perennials and small trees. The garden was developed by
master gardeners, NAU, and members of the community in 2003. Many roses were
donated from grateful families. It is cared for by master gardeners, and is one
of a half-dozen public gardens in Flagstaff.
The following is a chart of the roses in the hospice garden
and their primary characteristics. When buying a rose be sure it is cold hardy
to 5 and that it is disease resistant—check the tag on the rose and websites of
that rose. Enjoy these roses and your own in Flagstaff! LINK
