Last time I was at the BBG they were tearing up the arbors and doing some major renovation to the "Modern" rose garden.
Maybe a handout about the garden would provide them with more space to explain HTs and grafting as its the china roses that provided remontant roses which is what I think they want to get across, but I COULD be wrong.
