Legend: Madame Ganna Walska
The woman behind the dramatic Lotusland gardens—the late opera diva Madame Ganna Walska—was masterful at creating sweeping statements.
To restore her order to the rose garden we limited selection to roses in just three clear and bold colors: red, orange and yellow. Arranged in visually layered rows the garden is clean and in her spirit. Working with legendary stonemason Ozzie Du Ros, we also restored the area’s brick paving.
