English Perennial & Rose Garden

The gardens of England are renowned for their beauty and perennial plantings of different heights, shapes and colors. In the perennial gardens, trees and shrubs are used to construct a balanced view in the midst of an explosion of color. While the English Country Garden looks deliberately casual, it is actually carefully planted for fragrance, color and texture. While visiting the garden, look for the very soft grey leaves of the "Lamb's Ear", also known as "Blankets of Fairies".

The English Rose Garden features over 350 rose bushes of varying types and colors. There are three types of roses in this garden, bush, tree and climber. Roses have a long and colorful history as symbols of love, beauty, war, and politics. According to fossil evidence, roses are 35 million years old. Cultivated in Europe and China for thousands of years, the segregation of roses in separate gardens started in the 19th century.
