In the opinion of Commander Richard E. Byrd, who has visited most places in the world, the rose garden in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens is the finest he has ever seen (says the Christchurch Sun). The roses were at their best when the explorer and his party visited the gardens, and the curator, Mr James Young, picked him a big bunch. Commander Byrd is sending a fine red bloom home to his wife in America.
