Shortly after that, the senate wives committee started looking for a way to commemorate the rose. They noted this land had been vacant. It had some grass, a broken irrigation system, a few trees but nothing formal. So they set about privately raising money to build a garden on this site. It took quite a few years, fundraising ban in the 90s and in 2006 it opened. There was a Design Competition held for almothe elements of th garden.
