 | | The Albuquerque Rose Garden, completed in 1995, was the result of a four year collaboration among the City of Albuquerque, the Library director and branch manager, landscape architect William Perkins and the Albuquerque Rose Society. |
 | | The new design accommodates about 1,200 rose bushes and includes some wonderful new amenities designed by William Perkins, including a shade structure, a pergola, arches, picnic tables and benches, concrete edging for planting beds, raised beds for Miniatures and Polyanthas, and a comprehensive new watering system. |
 | | We continue to replace less hardy roses with new varieties, move roses from positions that have become too shaded and add new beds to further enhance the public's experience. |
