[From Sakura Kusabue-no-Oka Rose Garden, by Dr. Yuki Mikanagi:] In 1995 Katsuhiko Maebara established the Rose Culture Institute, a non-profit organization with Mr. Suzuki as the head adviser. The Institute’s aims are collection and conservation of wild roses and old rose varieties; research and development of techniques in rose cultivation; breeding of new varieties; and collection and publication of rose literature. In an attempt to achieve these aims, Mr. Maebara opened a small garden featuring Mr. Suzuki’s collection in Sakura City, 25 miles east of Tokyo, in May 1996.
[From the World Rose News, July 2012, p. 61:] After graduating from the Horticultural Dept of Chiba University, Mr Maebara worked for Keisei Rose Nursery, where he, under the direction of the late Mr Seizo Suzuki, one of Japan’s eminent rose breeders and researchers, accumulated knowledge essential to the growing and management of rose gardens. Following Mr Suzuki’s retirement, Mr Maebara was entrusted with many of the important species and rare heritage roses from his personal collection. These roses were then planted in his private garden in Sakura City. With the assistance of other volunteer Rosarians - Rose Garden Alba, was opened to the public in 1996.
