As June started, the roses started in the garden. First one, and then another.
Soon it will be roses ablaze. The Rose Tree Museum in Tombstone AZ considers itself to have the largest rose in the world. It is a Banksiae, one of the popular roses in Britain. It spreads over 8,000 square feet and was planted in 1884.
If you want to find the largest rose farm n the world, it is in Ethiopia. Between three and four million roses are transported to the Netherlands each day. The company is Afriflora Sher.
For the largest rose collection ion the world go to Germany where the rose garden in Sangerhausen has 8,600 varieties and species, growing since 1903.
There is a thousand-year-rose growing in Hildesheim, Germany. "More of an out-of-control tree than the lilting flower the name might suggest, the Rose of Hildesheim, otherwise known as the Thousand-Year Rose, is thought to be the oldest living rose on the planet."
