Planting In Rock Gardens:
THESE FASCINATING roses have small flowers and a miniature stature suitable for, among other things, edging borders, planting in rock gardens and planting in containers. There are also dwarf polyantha roses characterized by their bushy, compact habit.Martha Houghton, at the first meeting of the American Rock Garden society, 1934. tfy first visit to a true alpine garden was in the spring of 1977 vhen I met Budd Myers and had the rare opportunity of touring his lillside domain in northeast Pennsylvania, on the fringes of the 3ocono Mountains. I had seen pictures of other such gardens before nit they always looked like a technicolor world with brilliant dots of ntense but unreal tinting and a great deal of cunningly placed rock, lence the other name for such plant collections: rock gardens.
Gardens are at their magnificent best in sun-warmed Monaco, so closely guarded from rough winds by the Maritime Alps. Four varied gardens, all beautifully maintained, are the Casino Park and Flower Beds; the Exotic Gardens (with interesting grottoes), appropriately known as "Petite Afrique," boasting tropical trees and shrubs; the neighboring Park of Princess Antoinette; and the St. Martin Gardens, with their handsome pines, adjacent to the Oceanographic Museum on Monaco Rock.
