Mable’s Rose Garden – The Ringling, Sarasota, FL – 2016-04-29

Mable loved roses and Italy. Her rose garden was completed in 1913 and features a limestone gazebo with wrought iron. Smaller concrete statues line the walkways. Since only a few records exist about the garden, little is known about the types of roses planted. Due to the lack of technology on rose disease control in early years, Mrs. Ringling would replace one half of her rose garden every two years.
