David Austin Evelyn rose, at the show
When my mother first came over to visit we gave Red Butte Garden a try, thirteen years ago. I was pretty unimpressed and failed to return until about two weeks ago. Shock and awe, that is how I describe what awaited us. Since this first return visit I have gone back twice, for the Utah Rose Society show and with a family member. I think it is the perfect place to go think or relax by one self and I decided to make a small investment in a single most basic membership to do just that, think and relax by myself amongst the plants.
The Rose garden is a marvel in and of itself but it doens't stop there. I loved the aromatic garden just as well and the orangery, I could go on and on but enough words just take a look:
David Austin Crocus rose
Henry's Clematis
Hens and Chicks planter
Davis Austin Golden Celebration
Apple Service Berry (Amelanchier Grandiflora)
Golden Wings rose
Kale, green tricks and artichoke planter, now replaced by something more tropical, too bad...
I hope you liked this little tour, I will post a few pictures of some great things growing closer to home very soon but time to get back to sewing a blue raw silk Wiksten tulip skirt now!
