The rise of the American municipal rode garden, 1972–1973
Varying in scale and degree of elaboration from the modest patch that constitutes Manhattan, Kansas' City Park roseraie 1 to the lavish, y-acre spread of the Morcom Rose Garden in Oakland, California, the municipal rose garden is a common sight across the United States. Indeed, the institution is so much taken for granted that little thought is given to why and how cities got into the fraught and costly business of growing roses. An investigation reveals that the majority of civic rose gardens in the United States country were planned and planted in the to-year period between 1927 and 1937. As four gardens — namely, the Municipal (now Laura Conyers Smith) Rose Garden in Jacob L. Loose Memorial Park in Kansas City, Missouri (1929–1937); the Fort Worth Botanic Garden Rose Garden in Texas (1930–1934); the Oakland Municipal (now Morcom) Rose Garden in California (1930–1937); and the Tulsa (Oklahoma) Municipal Rose Garden (1934–1937) - will amply demonstrate, this decade merits being known as the #x2018;classic period#x2019; of the public rose garden.
