Established in 2010, the gardens of Bob & Dona Martin consist of more than 600 roses on a fully landscaped acre in north San Diego County. With more than 460 varieties, the gardens feature all types of roses from the newest to the ancient, as well as roses hybridized by Bob Martin, all arranged in multiple beds integrated within the landscape. These include, in the back, a sweeping bed of exhibition hybrid teas, the Garden of the Seven Dwarfs flanked by a gar- den of striped roses, and a large terraced garden of mixed old garden roses, landscape shrubs and climbers. The front features a border of minifloras, another border of miniature roses, a polyantha border and a large sweeping border of floribundas and grandifloras. In the front center is the newest addition, Dona’s English Garden, featuring three distinct beds and a border containing 78 English Style roses. All of the roses are labeled for easy identification and are integrated into a botanical landscape of perennials, shrubs and 30 trees.
