June is the
month for roses: we have over 75 varieties of roses. Excellent collection of old
fashioned roses, formal beds of floribunda types, Austin Roses; walk through the Rose
Arbour into the Secret Garden covered with hardy climbing roses. Dont miss the Casa
Loma Rose on the Lower Terrace.
Lower Terrace: Perennial beds start their
early summer bloom; delphiniums, iris, campanula, coral bells, late tulips.
Rhododendron Dell: Really at its glory
during June; large leafed types in bloom as well as deciduous azaleas; flowering dogwoods,
lilacs, mock-orange, spirea are all in bloom now.
Secret Garden: Peonies, scabiosa, salvia,
deutzia, dianthus, geraniums, and, of course, roses in profusion.
Front Courtyard & Upper Terrace:
Containers with annuals should be starting to fill in and showing lots of colour. |
