The five generals' pines of Roosna
Roosna viie kindrali männid
In the former Liivaku settlement of Roosna, one of Järvamaa's oldest villages, grow two pines about 300 years old. Before the Second World War there were still five of them, and in 1936 a large limestone cross still stood beneath them. Tradition says that five high-ranking officers, generals, fell in a battle here during the Great Northern War and were buried near the battlefield, and that the pines were planted on their graves and the stone cross set up over them. Nearby, the village also has Estonia's thickest garden apple tree, in the old blacksmith's farm.

Roosna küla, ühe Järvamaa vanima küla endises Liivaku asunduses kasvab kaks umbes 300-aastast mändi. Enne Teist maailmasõda oli neid veel viis ja 1936. aastal seisis mändide all suur paekivist rist. Pärimuse järgi langes siin Põhjasõja ajal viis kõrget sõjaväelast, kindralit, kes maeti lahinguvälja lähedale, ning nende hauale istutati männid ja pandi paekivist rist. Külas kasvab ka Eesti jämedaim aedõunapuu endises sepatalus.
