  • 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.

    VOLUME 22: FEBRUARY 2011 World Rose News NEWSLETTER of the WORLD FEDERATION of ROSE SOCIETIES President Sheenagh Harris unveils Ruston statue in Renmark Photo – Brenda Burton 1 President’s Message Dear rosarians of the WFRS member countries, As we begin a new year, I wish each one of you a happy, healthy and fulfilling 2011 and thank you for all your wonderful messages for Christmas and the new year – beautiful cards, thoughtful and kind messages making it most enjoyable to be in touch with the many rose friends I have made throughout the rose world. As Rosarians we have much to look forward to starting with the 12 th International Heritage Convention in Sakura, Japan at the end of May. The Japanese Heritage Rose committee have been hard at work to ensure we, the delegates, enjoy an interesting and well organised convention with beautiful roses, interesting lectures, the magnificent City of Sakura Rose Garden and as always the joy of meeting rose friends from around the world. My two visits to Australasia in October and November last year were very special. The Australian rosarians certainly treated me like a queen, all going the extra mile for my comfort and enjoyment and I will always think of these loyal subjects as being warm and welcoming with the most delightful sense of humour. The unveiling of the sculpture of David Ruston, one of our most eminent rosarians, was indeed the cherry on the top and a most humbling honour for me, which will always be a highlight in my life. The roses in the eight public gardens I visited in New Zealand were superb.
