General:
Each spring, Rosedown is a mecca for camellia and azalea lovers. The avenue of stately moss-hung live oaks. Little remains of the design of the garden which was once laid out in the formal French manner. The live oaks were planted by Martha, wife of Daniel Turnbull, ancestor of present owners.
