General

Designed by Friede Stege in November 1965, this garden was noted for its incorporation of roses into the overall landscape design. Stege situated the rose garden adjacent to the home's screen porch and terraces where it could be enjoyed by homeowner and guest alike. An adjacent woodland gave an added dimension to the overall design.
Persons associated with the garden include Friede Stege (landscape architect, 1965) and Paul Thayer Iaccaci and Hope Norton Iaccaci (former owners, ca. 1965-?).
