Roses: Visiting the Queen of Flowers

June is National Rose Month and the Krasberg Rose Garden puts on quite the show. More than 5,000 roses fill the air with their delicate, sweet scents and countless colors. The three-acre Rose Garden, dedicated in 1985, features more than 200 rose varieties including hybrid teas, floribundas, miniatures, grandifloras, climbers, and shrubs. Old garden roses (also called heirloom or antique roses) and newer All-America Rose Selections are also on display. It’s an alluring feast for the eyes and the nose.
