Rose Sunday




The roses in the Elizabeth Park rose garden are usually at peak around the third weekend of June, when the Park celebrates Rose Sunday.  Less celebration this year, but still beautiful.




There are new banners above the entrances to the gazebo, announcing the naming of the rose garden as the Helen S. Kaman Rose Garden.  The Elizabeth Park Conservancy has received a major gift from the Kaman Foundation.  Ms. Kaman was the first wife of Charles Kaman, founder of an aircraft company.  She was an aeronautical engineer, an artist and a philanthropist.






Some of the many beauties.
