Join us for our annual celebration of roses!
From miniature roses to hybrid tea to climbers, there really is a rose for
everyone, and on this weekend, our rose event celebrates them all!

Visit with Rosarians from the Denver Rose Society
They will be in the store from 9am-5pm both Saturday & Sunday
This is a great opportunity to get tips on general rose care, advice on existing roses
in your garden, and expert assistance in choosing the perfect rose to add to your
garden this year. Stop by, and pick up a few tips from the pros!

Explore our Rose House
We  have an exceptional selection of roses this year! You'll find everything from miniature tea
roses to glorious grandifloras, floribundas, climbers, shrub roses and heirloom roses. We're proud
to offer both Weeks Roses and Star Roses in our greenhouse. These roses undergo rigorous testing
in the growing fields. The varieties we chose are cold hardy and will acclimate easily into our
Colorado gardens. You can feel confident adding one (or more!) of these beautiful roses to your garden.

Enter our Rose Challenge
Test your knowledge of rose varieties! See if you can match our displayed roses to the correct
variety name. It's fun, educational, and everyone can play. You might just be the lucky
gardener that goes home with the grand prize!
