miniature rose garden. Above also is a close-up of the

Auction to be held on September 13 during the Fall
Show.
Father Gervase, above, gestures towards
Virgnina Fischer's large "Heritage"
specimen. To the right is another permanent
vistor Virginia's garden. Too bad he is
sculptured and can't catch real insects.

his roses with some of
the visitors on tour of his
garden.
