Stanley Park Rose Garden

This guide to the Stanley Park Rose Garden in Vancouver follows longtime gardener Peter Norton, who calls this rain-soaked, shaded spot the worst possible place for roses, and the unconventional way he keeps thousands of blooms alive here anyway. You'll hear how the Kiwanis Club planted the garden in 1920 to prove roses could thrive in this climate, and why some beds are grown especially tall for passengers on passing buses. Look for the arbor near the garden's edge as you walk through the beds.
