Grandiflora
Sunshine Daydream
Mable Ringling's Rose Garden was established in 1913. It is Italian inspired and it's circular design is patterned after a wagon wheel. The pathways of the garden are lined with sculptures of courting couples and pastoral scenes. None of the original roses survived when the estate fell into disrepair in the late 30's early 40's, but the restoration was careful to include many of the 1200 varieties of roses that Mabel herself had planted. This image is of the Sunshine Daydream variety that is the only rose selected to win the 2012 All American Rose Selection. This is one of the few roses in the garden that has no scent, but it's beauty prevails.
