According to Greek Mythology it was the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite that created the first red rose. The myth states that while rushing to her dying lover Adonis, she scratched herself on the thorns of a rose and her blood forever stained the rose red. The Rose in all its variety and color became the State flower of New York in 1955 and the Village of Newark was know as the Rose Capital of America.  Thousands of people came from round the world to see the famous Jackson and Perkins Rose Gardens.  Today, only photos of the once famous arboretum remain and are on display at Vintage Gardens and the local museum.  June is peak season for our Rose Garden. In the spring and summer our guests love to have tea and cookies among the more than 250 varieties in our garden.
