Rose Hill Mansion - Boxwood Gardens - Geneva

This is a shot of the Boxwood Gardens at the Rose Hill Mansion. At the time of the restoration of Rose Hill Mansion the boxwood gardens had totally disappeared in a tangle of weeds and underbrush. They were reconstructed from the Survey of Rose Hill Farm by W.R. Hopkins in 1853 and from a photograph of 1875. There are now 15 boxwood beds with the original Greek Revival well house in the backyard. In the back there are two trellises. The mansion is on Route 96A in Geneva, NY.
