The Rose Garden consists of mostly roses, contrasted with silver and green foliage to create multiple seasons of interest. The design of the garden features dark but bright roses in front. As you move into the garden, the colors also move — to deep pink, orange-red, bright yellow, medium pink, salmon, lavender and lighter pink. The display continues through to the light yellows, with the palest roses in the back of the garden, giving the illusion of depth. A yellow rose that Mr. Radler singles out is the floribunda 'Carefree Sunshine', his own introduction — a repeat-blooming hardy shrub rose.
