What year was the Hershey Rose Garden started? I have 8mm film of part of the garden, and a sign which says "Hershey Rose Garden, 35th Anniversary". We would like to know what year that was?

The Hersey Gardens website (http://www.hersheygardens.com/attractions/theme_gardens.html) has the following information.

"Rose Garden: The historical highlight of Hershey Gardens , this is where it all began in 1937. These original roses were hand-planted by Milton Hershey's gardeners. Compare varieties and enjoy the fragrances of 7,000 gorgeous roses, consisting of 275 varieties."
and
"Mrs. Hershey's Rose Garden: Planted in 1907 at Milton and Catherine Hershey's High Point Mansion, this lovely garden proudly contains Old Garden Roses that Mrs. Hershey grew."
