| | Sari and Jerry Cinnamon's Rose Garden
|
Our woodland rose garden sits on a point of land overlooking a lake in central Maine. The garden experiences warm southern breezes as well as the near artic winds of winter. In spring, after the lake thaws, the growing season lags behind more inland areas, setting up late June flowerings that extend into mid-October, long after inland gardens have become dormant before the start of winter. After the winter solstice passes, we again dream of the cheerful daffodils that mark spring and the start of a new season in the garden.

 | The climbing wall in the Hill Side Garden separated our gardens from the adjacent woodlands. The wall, optimistically built to be 50 feet wide and 10 feet tall, supports New Dawn, Zephirine Drouhin, William Baffin, Pierre De Ronsard or Eden, Polka, Royal Bonica, and more recently Super Excelsia, |  | The climbing wall in the Secret Garden supports John Cabot, John Davis, and William Baffin. The garden is named because it originally was hidden behind the fence that once marked the edge of the garden and the beginning of the woodland. Over time this garden has expanded into the former woodland area, and now houses a small greenhouse. |  | The Lower Terrace Garden houses hardy Canadian Explorer roses such as George Vancouver, Henry Kelsey, Frontenac, John Cabot, Captain Samuel Holland, Champaign, among others. This garden is exposed to Central Maine’s cold drying North West winter winds and these roses do very well in this environment. In the foreground are tender roses in containers that are over wintered indoors. |  | The Central Garden contains a variety of roses including Gruss An Aachen, Bonica, Royal Bonica, and many David Austin Roses. The rock in the center is in a streamlined shape, termed a Rock Sheep, originally dropped and shaped by the glacier that last passed through the garden. | Back to MRS Members Rose Gardens Page |
