It took one international garden designer (Dan Pearson), 14 gardeners, dozens of volunteers, teams of groundworkers, then 2000+ rose bushes, hundreds of perennial plants, to create the stunning new Rose Garden at Lowther. The result is a spectacle with the garden based on the form of a rose flower with the central fountain acting as the stamens.
