My folks live in Arizona and just recently took the trek down to Tombstone to visit the world’s largest rose bush which was planted in 1885.  Newsletter writer, DK Davis shares thoughts as he views the massive plant:

Perhaps the most unique sight in town is located in the Rose Tree Inn Museum; the world’s largest rosebush. Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, this petite fleur, is absolutely amazing. Covering more than 8,000 square feet, this white Lady Banksia is a vision to behold when covered in millions of miniature white blossoms. In the afternoon Arizona heat, I was impressed at how cool it was sitting under the beautiful ‘tree’.
