       My parents have a 5+ acre Rose Garden.

And they open it up to the public each year on Memorial Day Weekend.

This year NPR’s ‘All Things Considered’ visited their garden!

The Heritage Rosarium: A Once-A-Year Experience

by Jacki Lyden

It takes an obsession to create a rose garden as glorious as the one Nick Weber has grown at his home in Brookeville, Maryland. He calls it the “Heritage Rosarium,” and it’s filled with nearly 700 heirloom varieties of ramblers and climbers. Nick and his wife, Rosanne, open the Rosarium to the public only once a year on Memorial Day weekend.

    5. That is so cool! And I just learned why my roses look “funny”… they are singles. I never knew! The bush was here when we moved in.
