The world's largest rosebush is in Tombstone, Arizona. It's a white Lady Banksia whose original root came over from Scotland in 1885. From a single trunk, it spreads over an arbor that covers over 8,00 square feet.


Each spring it's covered with millions of tiny white blossoms.


A close-up of the blooms, maybe an inch wide at most.
