A huge, manicured, yet inviting garden filled with thousands of roses including 200 new candidates each year that are tested for a bunch of attributes like fragrance, how long blooms last, how hardy the plant is, how well the plant itself behaves etc. One is awarded a medal each year. A whole section of the garden is filled with past medal winners, one each year since 1940. An amazing variety or color and shape to please the eye and a wonderful trip for the sense of smell as we walked along the paths passing from one cloud of fragrance to another.
