The Europa-Rosarium, formerly the Rosarium Sangerhausen, is a municipal rose garden located in Sangerhausen, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. With 8300 cultivars and species〔 it is one of the largest rose collection in the world, playing an important role as budwood source and in research. In 2003 it was granted the Award of Garden Excellence by the World Federation of Rose Societies. It is open daily in the warmer months and charges an admission fee. == History == In 1897 Peter Lambert proposed the idea of a rose garden for the ''Verein Deutscher Rosenfreunde'' to collect newly introduced cultivars. Albert Hoffmann donated his rose collection of about 1100 different roses as a basis for the new rosarium. In 1899, the landscaping architect Friedrich Erich Doerr of Erfurt designed a formal rose garden, which was extended by an agricultural area in 1902. The garden was opened to the public with an area of 1.5 hectare in 1903. In 1913 the Hermenbüste, a statue of Princess Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein by Arnold Künne (1866–1942) of Berlin, was inaugurated, and Frau Auguste Vogel donated 7,000 Marks to expand the garden site to 12 hectares. In 1939 the garden was again expanded to its current extent, at which time it contain some 5,000 rose varieties. In 1993 it received its current name. In 2003, on the occasion of its 100 year anniversary, a new main entry, a restaurant and three new gardens were added, called ''Jubilee Garden'', ''Sea of Roses'' and ''ADR-Garden''.〔 The rose cultivar 'Sangerhauser Jubiläumsrose' (Kordes) is named by Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt Prof. Dr. Böhmer in the Jubilee Garden. Further, the international commendation ''Award of Garden Excellence'' is granted by the World Federation of Rose Societies.〔 Since then, a Rose Information Center, a conservatory, and a fragrance garden were opened.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Europa-Rosarium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
