Old Rose Garden April 26, 2008

Riverbanks' Old Rose Garden incorporates old roses with the perennials, annuals, vines and shrubs that complement them. Old roses have special ties to South Carolina's culture. One class of "old" roses, the Noisettes, was the first class of roses bred, evaluated and introduced to the world by the United States. All of the work took place in this state, so their point of origin is considered South Carolina.
