Within the newly christened Helen S Kaman Rose Garden and its younger sibling, the Heritage Rose Garden, at Elizabeth Park, we’ll find an historic collection of antique rose hybrids, as well as the best new rose introductions from American hybridizers and international growers. All these beauties grow and thrive in Connecticut gardens.
