All-American Rose Garden Univ. of Southern Miss.

The renowned All-American Rose Garden, which opened in 1974, features approximately 800 separate bushes that consistently attract admirers from South Mississippi and beyond. It contains many various types of hybrid roses. Many biologists and botanists come from all over the world just to study the roses found in the rose garden. Due to the large number of rare roses found in the rose garden, plucking out a rose is against college policy, and getting caught currently results in a fine of $500.
