Fairmount Cemetery
While this isn't exactly a public rose garden, Fairmount Cemetery is
still a very interesting place for a rosarian to visit.
Fairmount Cemetery was founded in 1890, and is
currently approximately 250 developed acres. There are various structures of historical
significance, and many many hundreds, if not thousands of OGR's, and some
moderns, growing in amongst all the grave sites. Stately trees are also the
subject of annual "tree walks" sponsored by Denver Botanic Gardens. Tour
classes by the Denver Botanic Gardens study the many classes of OGR's and
some species roses to be found there. Located at the intersection of
Alameda and Quebec, entrances on both Alameda and Quebec. Jo An Cullen is the
Director of Public Affairs for Fairmount, and is quite aware of the significance of the roses at
Fairmount and is seeking to preserve and publicize them.
