Label TextA wood "pagoda style" canopy extends across the entry to the rose garden. Side support columns are 8' and are made of stone. A cedar wood trellis and bronze roses form the mid section of the canopy. The bronze finial is a 2' high vertical bronze rod with bronze ball midway up. Pediment references the architecture and landscape of the rural Midwest. The endless grid of our roads and fields as laid out on the Jeffersonian grid plan become a trellis, with a rose added to denote the entrance into the rose garden. Tom Stancliffe, beginning in 1988 and continuing to this day, is an associate professor of Art at the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa.
