World's Largest Rosebush - Tombstone

The rosebush is a white Lady Banksia and is located in Tombstone, Arizona. The root originally came from Scotland in 1885. It now spreads over an arbor that covers more than 9,000 square feet.

This is a picture from underneath the rosebush. To view as much of the top as you can see, you go to the top of a viewing platform.

We were lucky enough to see the rosebush in bloom. The rosebush is behind a small museum where artifacts from the 1800's are displayed. One of the most interesting was this clock and calendar. This device displayed the day, month and year, including leap year.

I also thought these old measuring cups were very interesting. I could not include the entire set of Gill measurements, so I took a picture showing the size of one Gill compared to 1/2 pint.
