  • Rome Hotel Eden
    ROME HOTEL EDEN Two day itinerary: Romance Italians are considered some of the most romantic people in the world, so where better to celebrate your love than in the Italian capital of Rome? From charming gardens and intimate restaurants to jewellery shopping and jaw-dropping views, there are plenty of opportunities to create lasting memories in the Eternal City. Spend a romantic weekend away in Rome with the help of this two-day itinerary. Day One Start the day with a 20-minute drive to The Orange Garden. THE ORANGE GARDEN Via di Santa Sabina, 00153 Rome While its name suggests that the highlight of The Orange Garden (Giardino degli Aranci or Parco Savello) is its orchard of fruit trees, its views are, in fact, its most captivating attraction. The pocket- sized garden directly overlooks St Peter’s Basilica and its terrace offers unbelievably beautiful views of Rome. Visit with your partner in the morning, when the sun casts an enchanting glow over the city. Take a short five-minute walk to the next garden on the itinerary. ROME ROSE GARDEN T: 006 574 6810 | Via di Valle Murcia 6, 00153 Rome Nothing says romance like a walk through a blossoming rose garden. Rome Rose Garden (Roseto Comunale) at the foot of Aventino Hill is one of the city’s most charming green spaces. Open from May to October each year, the garden is filled with over 1,000 different varieties of botanical roses from all over the world, with some dating back to Roman times. Then, take a 25-minute drive to Keats-Shelley House.

  • 2009 Sacramento Cemetery Catalog
    The Work And The Joy Of The Sacramento Historic Rose Garden Anita Clevenger The Sacramento Historic Rose Garden in the Sacramento His- toric City Cemetery has been appreciating a groundswell of attention and support. For the past three years, we have brought a display of the cemetery roses to the Sacramento Rose Society's annual show, generat- ing much interest. Educational garden tours and workshops on propaga- tion and pruning are well-attended, and a steady stream of photogra- phers, painters, history buffs, casual visitors and rose-lovers come through our gates. The 2008 Open Garden attracted several hundred people who enthusiastically vied to purchase found roses such as "Old Town Novato," "Barbara's Pasture Rose," "Vina Banks," and "Baretta St. Bourbon." We have built a cadre of enthusiastic volun- teers, who tend the roses on regular workdays, summer's "Deadheading Barbara s Pasture Rose at Dusk" gatherings, and January's "Pruning Party." In recognition of our efforts, we received a $500 Historic Preservation Award of Merit from Mayor Heather Fargo. The Historic Rose Garden is showing the results of this added funding and labor. We've spent over $2,000.00 to purchase mortar and cement to repair tumbled-down brick plot enclosures. We've installed a custom-designed sign at the garden's en- trance. We've worked hard to control weeds, including the pernicious Bermuda grass. We've trimmed and tied up roses to keep them out of the pathways and away from grave markers. We've identified diseased roses, and removed them if necessary. Ro- sarians from near and far have donated historic found roses, and we've selectively purchased others.
