Join PRS Board Member and Heirloom Roses Ambassador Katy Banks for her Fifth Annual Open Garden at Rose Hill — a milestone year for this beloved Mother’s Day tradition.
Home to more than 500 roses, Rose Hill in peak spring flush is nothing short of extraordinary. Towering climbers, romantic arches, and obelisks wrapped in bloom create layers of color and fragrance at every turn. The spectacular Honeymoon™ rose arch makes a breathtaking entrance, while Lavender Lassie and The Generous Gardener drape the stone façade with cascades of romantic bloom. Throughout the garden, thoughtfully placed structures showcase Katy’s remarkable collection and her eye for design.
Last year, Rose Hill was featured in Southern Living magazine — national recognition of the beauty, artistry, and dedication that define this exceptional garden. Katy is also an Heirloom Roses Ambassador, a PRS Consulting Rosarian, and a third-generation rose grower. Her knowledge is as abundant as her blooms, and guests will gain inspiration and practical insight along with the visual splendor.
Katy hosts this open garden event each year on Mother’s Day in honor of her mother — her greatest supporter — and her grandmother, who first inspired her love of roses. It is a celebration of family legacy, shared passion, and the joy of growing roses.
If you have ever wanted to see what 500+ roses in full spring glory look like, this is the garden to experience.
You can follow Katy on Instagram at @roseladykaty. Registration for this event will open in April, and the address will be sent to registrants during the week before the event.
