Canada's gardens are filled with a tremendous variety
of flowers, but a few of them remain all-time favorites
year after year. One of them is the rose, arguably the
crowning glory of gardens everywhere. This seemingly
delicate beauty is as old as the dinosaurs with roughly
150 species blooming in the Northern Hemisphere.
Today, gardeners cherish the rose for its endless forms
and colors, its fragrance and its historic reputation as
the preeminent exemplar of floral beauty from the
Orient to the Middle East to Europe.
A beautiful gift for someone you know who loves
flowers!
