The Chihuly sculpture, “Colorado,” will draw you to this magical garden where you’ll want to linger and admire the rose plants and their companions.

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.
