Description:

A stop in Tombstone isn't complete without a visit this Guinness World Book record holder. The bush was planted way back in 1885 and now covers a whopping 9,000 square feet. The trunk is something to behold at about 12 feet in diameter and super gnarled - unlike our normal wee garden rose bushes. The smell is wonderful and the latticework supporting the beast of bush is something to behold. Admission is $5 for adults, kids free. Worth it for the pic alone. A little museum accompanies the bush where you'll get more Tombstone history than you can shake a rose at.
