Kingwood by the Numbers - Countdown - Six Days

Dr. Griffin Buck lived and worked in Iowa where winter temperatures are frequently twenty degrees below zero and required a labor intense protection process for his roses.  Since Dr. Buck could not control the weather, his mission in life was to create roses that would survive blistering northern temperatures without the need for radical winter protection.  Below are pictures, taken in the garden last year, exhibiting SIX of his varieties.
