GPOD on the Road: Butchart Rose Garden

Visiting an iconic garden

We ’re back with what is go bad to be a semi - regular feature of taking the GPOD on the route to visit with child public garden space . Today acquaintance - of - the - GPOD Cherry Ong is taking us to bring down the incredibleButchart Gardensin British Columbia . Specifically , she ’s take up us to see the Rose Garden , the Perennial Borders , and Enchanting Arches Pathway . These photos are from her visit around the first hebdomad of August .

If you ’ve visited a great public garden in your travel , or have one in your region that you ’d wish to share , please send in photos so we can all nearly enjoy these beautiful spaces . These submissions are particularly welcome now as we move into the colder time of the year for most of our readers and home garden bodily process and GPOD submissions tend to drop off .

The rose garden includes this huge , flower - covered rose shrub , which blend in into the perennials and other bush plantings beyond .

This part of the rose garden is classically stately , with a perfect lawn , trimmed hedge , and regiment rows of rosiness .

A gazing ball chew over the rose abundance all around it .

rose may be notoriously fussy and sometimes disease - prone or otherwise problematic , but this picture register why they are still one of the most dear flowers in the human beings . It ’s hard to tucker out their unbelievable beauty when maturate well .

But this garden is n’t all rose . Here a variegatedpagoda dogwood(Cornusalternifolia‘Argentea ’ , Zones 3–7 ) steals the scene .

These roseate beds are lined with whitened sweet alyssum ( Lobulariamaritima , one-year ) .

The Enchanting Arches Pathway feature a recollective serial publication of plant - covered archway .

The rose growing up these arches are n’t in blossom at the minute , but the result is still pure magic . Cherry enounce these are some of the beneficial garden arch she ’s ever seen , and I have to harmonize !

climb rose wine , despite the name , do n’t really rise ; they generally just have very foresightful stems that can , with forethought , be attached and arranged to climb up arches and other structures . Covering each of these arches with roses involved an enormous amount of work , especially considering the thorns !

The arch are made of false bois ( fake Sir Henry Joseph Wood ) concrete to a beautiful effect .
