The old rose favorite of the Empress Josephine, "Souvenir de la Malmaison," graces the Memorial Garden (foreground); off and to the right is "The Fawn," a great rose that seems to resist Japanese beetles.
Teepees in the Vegetable Plots will be covered with hyacinth beans, scarlet runner beans, birdhouse and penguin gourds and, sometimes, hops. In the background, climbing rose "Old Blush" blooms exuberantly along with baptisia, dianthus and peony "Karl Rosenfeld."
