"A large part of this area was developed into the Formal Rose Garden, after 1926. The showpiece of the Fair Lane Estate, over 10,000 plants once graced this three acre garden plot (maintained by approximately 25 gardeners). Within the Formal Rose Garden a combination of rose bushes and rose trees provided color to satisfy the wide range of guests that were privileged to experience Mrs. Ford's prized collection. "
