It's already August, but don't worry... There's still sum-mer-time left! Following is a hint of what's happening in the Rose Garden.

Don Sudbury Daylily     Hemerocallis 'Sudbury Don'

This Daylily, named after the late Don Sudbury, who along with his wife Beverly, helped create the Volunteer Program here at Red Butte Garden over 30 years ago.

Bev Sudbury Lily     Hemerocallis 'Sudbury Bev'

Named after the late Beverly Sudbury. The Sudbury Daylilies can be seen next to the benches dedicated to the Sudbury couple.

Blue Satin® Rose of Sharon     Hibiscus syriacus 'Marina'

These vibrant flowers bloom from late summer until frost.

Panicle Hydrangea     Hydrangea paniculata 'Tardiva'

If you are a Hydrangea fan, now is their time to shine! Showy white blooms stand out on this vigorous, upright, and fast growing cultivar.

Snow Queen Oakleaf Hydrange     Hydrangea quercifolia 'Snow Queen'

As it's name suggests, the leaves of this Hydrangea resemble that of an Oaks. The white flowers turn from white to purplish-pink with maturity.

Lyda Rose     Rosa 'LETlyda'

This Rose is lightly fragranced and a prolific bloomer from summer into fall.

The Garden is a blooming place right now. Don't run out of summertime without visiting!
