We are excited to offer the first San Jose Heritage Rose Garden Collection Catalog in over five years. During this time, the garden has evolved and roses and people have come and gone, but it remains a world class botanical collection. You may notice that there are a few differences between the new Collection Catalog and the original catalogs. For now, we left out alternate names and provenance. Those items might be added later, along with other new information such as URL links to pictures and other information. This current Collection Catalog .pdf is divided into two sections. The first section is sorted by Variety Name and the second section is sorted by location. The .pdf is searchable and printable, but not sortable. You will be able to print small sections of the collection at a time which is important since the document contains over 200 pages!

To locate a rose in the HRG, you will notice the garden is divided into six sections: K, L, M, N, O, P. Rose locations are indicated using the following convention: M(section) - 15(row) - 8(position). First find the section. Then, walk down the path checking the rows until you find the correct row. Once in the row, walk down the aisle until you locate the rose’s position.

The date column indicates the date that a rose was released or registered with the American Rose Society. Found roses contain the date it was discovered, if a date is available. Found roses are indicated by double quotation marks. Square brackets surrounding a variety name listing indicate that the rose identity has been lost and a simple description (for instance, [Red HT]) has been substituted. The word “Empty” in the variety name column indicates that a location in the garden currently has no plant. “Not available” can indicate that either a location will not be used because large neighboring roses require that space, or that the rose intended for that location could not be obtained at this time.

The following color codes are used:

ab	Apricot & apricot blend
dp	Deep pink
dr	Dark red
dy	Deep yellow
lp	Light pink
ly	Light yellow
m	Mauve & mauve blend
mp	Medium pink
mr	Medium red
my	Medium yellow
ob	Orange & orange blend
op	Orange-pink & orange-pink blend
or	Orange-red & orange-red blend
pb	Pink blend
r	Russet
rb	Red blend
w	White, near white & white blend
yb	Yellow blend

Another new feature is whether or not a rose is adopted through our Adopt-a-Rose program. The date listed under “Adoption Status” is the expiration date of the adoption. If there is no date listed, then the rose is available for adoption! However, the system is not always completely up to date, so please submit your top three choices when using this database to select a rose to adopt.

The HRG is constantly changing due to garden maintenance and enhancement. Therefore, updated catalog listings will be released on a quarterly basis. There is also other valuable information that cannot be included in the catalog, so if you have specific questions, please contact us.
