Passing through the arch of the
Derby Summer house
you enter the Rose Garden). Designed by Herbert Browne in
1904 it is enclosed by a brick wall with marble coping and it
contained two fountains. At the center of the garden once sat a
bronze, the Boy from Pompeii,
looking over a shallow marble-tiled fountain. At the east wall
is Thermes, a garden terminus,
over-looking a pool that once contained lotus and water lilies.
The recently restored plantings include perennials and hundreds
of period roses. Photo of Rose Garden
