This area of the botanical garden was originally designed in 1916 by landscape architect Beatrix Farrand. But it wasn’t completed until 1988 when David Rockefeller provided a donation. After that, it was named after Peggy Rockefeller who was an avid horticulturalist and loved roses.
There were more roses than I ever even knew could exist and the scent just overtook the air every now and then- making it inevitable for one to stop and smell the roses.
