I had to tear out all our roses because of the rose virus. Since it is carried by a mite in the soil I was told any roses I plant will get it. Other properties around us have the same problem..What do you do about it on your farm?

When will you be sharing your roses with others or are they going to be for sale? I would love to grow some old world roses.

How amazing to see mature plantings and arching branches of blooms. These giants of the rose world deserve recognition. I am so happy you found your way to this project.

The secret garden… so much magic! Everything happens for a reason. Anne and her roses will live on eternally. As will the hard work and love of the Floret Team. One person can be a guardian for decades and then when the time is right… the gift is shared to to right individuals to bring the magic back to life!

It does sound like a magical rose wonderland. Thank you for your work to preserve all these rare varieties and continue Anne’s Legacy. I wish her family could find a way to preserve her garden through grants or a foundation as a public park as they did Ohme Gardens in Eastern Washington.

Thanks for taking us along on this wonderful journey in roses. This has been a delightful story. And the pictures are great. I’m imagining what this garden looked like in all of it’s glory and hoping one day to have my our footprint like this in my garden.
