Rose
Weekend is the crowning event for Elizabeth Park when the Rose Garden
is in  full bloom. The Rose Garden features over 15,000 rose bushes and
arches, which cover over two and one half acres. Words cannot describe the
Rose Garden in full bloom, although “amazing” and “heavenly” come to
mind.
The public is invited to bring lawn chairs and
a picnic dinner. For those who want a night out, The Pond House Café will
be opened for dinner. To make reservations, please call 860-231-882.
The Friends of Wallace
Stevens will read poetry on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. The
Connecticut Rose Society will host the Rose Show in the Pond House on
Sunday, from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm. Many other activities
will be taking place during Rose Weekend, see the schedule below for
