A Miracle On The Pier!
Only a man who loves flowers could create a rose garden that is in full bloom for all to enjoy at Chicago's Navy Pier. Tony Abruscato's 'Miracle On The Pier' Rose Garden was truly a sight to see this year at the Chicago Flower and Gardening Show, presented by Mariano’s. This is the first time in more than a decade that a rose garden has been featured at the show!
Pictured with Tony Abruscato is award winning consulting rosarian, Susan Fox ofGaga's Garden, a recent American Rose Society award winner and also a featured expert at the show. Although it just ended, gardening enthusiasts will be talking about this event for years to come! The show was a huge success and has become the hottest travel destination for spring.

9 年Thank-you June S.! While talking about about what we would call the rose garden Tony laughed and said maybe we should call the classic rose garden "Miracle on the Pier" because A) Roses don't bloom in Chicago in March! And B) Getting folks to believe we would do it was a Miracle! Tony Abruscato is a visionary and more than a visionary he's a "Do-er'! I loved working with Tony Abruscato getting a rose garden to the wonderful folks of Chicago! Two in Fact! We had a Miniature Fairy garden as well that the talented Arlena Schott of @Garden Wise with Arlena (Garden Wise) designed and children and grown-ups alike fell in love with! Thank-you June for your wonderful support.

9 年Yes, I agree with you June. Flowers especially roses are symbols of intimate feeling, passion, desire and the giving of rose flowers is a gesture of love towards a person. I love roses. I have my research initiative right now on the propagation of rose entitled " One stock multiple scions". That is one Rose plant with 2 to 3 colors of flowers or with different colors of flower i.e. yellow, red and white flowers in one rose plant. Please, refer to me somebody with this kind of research initiative.
