1. I see many roses, lots of different kinds. the location of this is perfect. It is located in the middle of Julia Davis Park. It is evenly layed out. It has good use of space. Easy accessible to everyone. 2. The representation is this is great. It create somewhat of a maze with in giving it an essence of getting lost in this beautiful place. If you go during its peak bloom it smells wonderful. There is a path way down the middle with gazebos to provide shade.
3. The visual element in this that are dominate are the roses of course. It is a Rose Garden. It creates a calming enviorment
4. This memorial is not really site specific but was chosen because on November 22, 1907 Thomas Davis deeded a tract of land with thee only request that had from the city of Boise was that the land would only be used as a park and memorial to his wife Julia Davis and nothing else.5. It was created and designed by a group of men, yes men and flowers. In 1935 it was though up by H.C. Schuppel who was Chairman of the Men’s Garden Club. Interesting that their club had only two rule no women and no publicity.
6. Well a lot of different rose bushes were used along with adding sculpturers and gazebo throughout.
7. In the memorial there aren't many words just mainly descriptions of the roses.
8. I think that this space was intended to provide a relaxing atmosphere . Something that Julia Davis would have also enjoyed. It is very inviting somewhere where you could clear your mind.
9. I think this is very successful because I remember going for the first time and just had a really relaxing feel to it.
