This Hardy Rose Garden was installed in 1998 to demonstrate the older varieties of roses that may flourish in Colorado's extreme climate. While many people think of Colorado front range as a mountainous climate, we are actually living in a high plains desert. Water comes mainly from snowmelt and is legally sent to other states downstream. The roses that are shown in this garden are of hardier variety that require less water and withstand colder temperatures. The garden is designed as an unplanned garden in keeping with the Tajik (from where the teahouse came as a Sister City Gift) traditions.
The roses were donated by Harlequin's Gardens (
