Rosarium Publishing
A rose garden or rosarium is a garden or park, often open to the public, used to present and grow various types of garden roses, and sometimes rose species. Designs vary tremendously and roses may be displayed alongside other plants or grouped by individual variety, colour or class in rose beds. Technically it is a specialized type of shrub garden, but normally treated as a type of flower garden, if only because its origins in Europe go back to at least the Middle Ages in Europe, when roses were effectively the largest and most popular flowers, already existing in numerous garden cultivars. Origins of the rose garden Of the over 150 species of rose, the Chinese ''Rosa chinensis'' has contributed most to today's garden roses; it has been bred into garden varieties for about 1,000 years in China, and over 200 in Europe. It is believed that roses were grown in many of the early civilisations in temperate latitudes from at least 5000 years ago. They are known to have been grown ...

Rose Garden Chandigarh
A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus ''Rosa'' (), in the family Rosaceae (), or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through pinks, reds, oranges and yellows. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and Northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. Etymology The name ''rose'' com ...

Roseraie Du Val-de-Marne
Roseraie du Val-de-Marne or Roseraie de L'Haÿ is a rose garden in L'Haÿ-les-Roses, Val-de-Marne, France. History Jules Gravereaux, who made his fortune in the Bon Marché department store in Paris, purchased a large property in L'Haÿ about 8 km south of Paris in 1892 and hired the famous landscape architect and horticulturalist Édouard André to lay out a garden containing 1600 roses. The garden claims to be the first ever garden dedicated exclusively to roses. Gravereaux collected roses from all over Europe and started to create new rose varieties for the production of rose oil for perfume, which would facilitate the process of distillation. He worked on hybrids of Rosa rugosa and developed the cultivar 'Rose à parfum de L'Haÿ', among others. In all he created 27 new cultivars, primarily for rose oil production. The very fragrant, crimson-purple rugosa hybrid 'Roseraie de L'Haÿ', was named for this garden. Roseraie de L'Haÿ reached peak capacity at 8000 ro ...

Bushey Rose Garden
Bushey Rose Garden is a rose garden in Bushey, Hertfordshire, England. History It was created in 1913 by the noted garden designer Thomas Hayton Mawson for the artist Hubert von Herkomer. The client reportedly painted a portrait of Mawson in lieu of a fee. From the 1890s Herkomer lived in a house in Bushey called Lululaund. He also painted a portrait of the architect of the house, H.H. Richardson. The garden was laid out next to Lululaund. Herkomer had previously used the site for an art school. The school continued in operation on another site under the direction of Lucy Kemp-Welch. Herkomer died in 1914. He was survived by his third wife, Margaret, Lady Herkomer. The garden was transferred to municipal ownership in the 1930s after the death of Lady Herkomer. The house was also offered to the council, but was declined and only a remnant survives. Description A focal point in the garden is a fountain made of tufa, a stone also used in the construction of the house. The f ...
