Last December I attended the All Arizona Rose Society Luncheon in Mesa, AZ, where Clair Martin was the guest speaker. His topics were changes at the rose gardens at Huntington, and their spring 2008 exhibit "La Rose Impériale." Needless to say, I am planning a trip to my old stomping grounds. How lovely it will be to see the Huntington Gardens and Descanso again!From the Huntington website:
“La Rose Impériale: The Development of Modern Roses” will showcase 110 rare illustrated herbals and rose books, including a first edition of Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s glorious multivolume work, Les Roses (1817-24). The exhibition is the anchor of a yearlong celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Rose Garden at The Huntington, which was established by the institution’s founders Henry and Arabella Huntington in 1908."
