Complete with a
beautiful fountain pool and sitting wall, an extensive landscape renewal
in 2009 transformed this Garden into a stunning and updated display of
roses that thrive in the Colorado climate. The Garden features over 200
spectacular modern roses consisting of Hybrid Teas, Floribundas,
Grandifloras, and Climbing Roses which adorn two east-west pergolas. The
plantings are highlighted by several All-America Rose Selections and an
open design in which visitors are invited to walk amongst the beds and
“smell the roses.”
