Sacramento Historic Rose Garden

Meet Ramona.

She suffers from urban sprawl, but from her bed overlooking the hustle and bustle of Broadway, she certainly is a looker.
Out of all the historic places in Sacramento, the Sacramento Historic Rose Garden (part of the Sacramento Historic Cemetery, www.oldcitycemetery.com) is numero uno with me.  I am a volunteer, and I don't know squat about these roses.  I consider myself a garden grunt, and if you want scientific names, I'll disappoint you.
Whenever I announce, "I'm going to the cemetery to deadhead," I mean business.
We are gearing up for our annual Open Garden on April 16.  Admission is free, and we'll have roses for sale, a silent auction and tours.  So bring your camera and Claritin, then support one of Sacramento's finest historic destinations.  The Sacramento Historic Cemetery and the Historic Rose Garden is rich with the history of the California Gold Rush, and it's important to keep Sacramento's history and heritage alive .
C'mon, Man.  Anyone can built an arena, but once these historic sites are gone, they are gone forever.
