Heritage roses are noted for their splendor and for the abundant fragrance produced by their blooms. Individual rose bushes in our cemetery date back 60, 80, or even 100 years. Preserving them is preserving history – one rose at a time! After decades and decades of benign neglect, the heritage roses in our cemetery are once again doing well thanks to EPCA Board Member Helen Liu, and several Master Gardeners and Pruning Specialists.
