Unexpected Find

In April of every year, many people make their way to Tombstone, Arizona for an unexpected reason.

A rosebush.

A giant rosebush.

A 119-year old Lady Banksia Rose that covers 8,000 square feet with a trunk nearly six feet around

and, in April, over 200,000 blossoms.



Under an arbor canopied by the rose itself, 150 people can be seated comfortably.
